Cherbourg Marina
Monday 2nd September 2013
Today we set off on foot to explore the city centre which was a bit premature because most of the shops were closed being Monday !
Hot and sunny - lovely - by mid morning we had covered the main city centre and then we arrived at the new shopping centre that includes the very big Carrefour supermarket.
We found a shop similar to the B M shops in England and similar low prices.
We bought glass tumblers, a travel rug and some tupperware type boxes.
Then on to Carrefour - we bought all sorts of nice groceries and wine ( 2 Euros) - too much for us to carry back to Blazer - so we took up the offer stated in the Channel pilot book - we took a trolley all the way to the marina!!
There are a few trolleys there and the supermarket collects them from there.
In the afternoon we met two other boat skippers for drinks and nibbles - Alan from Portsmouth and Dag from Norway.
We chatted for hours and Jackie rustled up a wonderful meal for us all - eaten in the cockpit in the last of the sunshine - wonderful.
Almost 11.00 pm when we did the washing up !
Quite a day.
Mike and Jackie Smethurst.
