Cherbourg

                                                            Big lobster at the Aquarium.

Tuesday 3rd September 2013.

Another sunny day !

We went shopping after a lazy start - due to the late night - no stamina these days.
Then it was off on the long walk to the Trans - Atlantic terminal to visit  -
La Cite' De La Mer.

It was a wonderful day -

First the aquarium with tropical and cold water fish galore.

                                             Spiny lobster - Langouste in French - very tasty.



                                                                      Sea horses

Then we took the tour of the nuclear submarine - massive!
A good tour with commentary in English.

Then we did the Titanic experience tour - very moving - it was housed in the transatlantic building where it set off from on its ill fated maiden voyage.

Quite a day - again.

We are looking closely at the weather now and we have high winds forecast for early next week and fog patches this week so we will press on to Guernsey as soon as we can - maybe Thursday.
