Day 12 – Dieppe


Another fine day and not much to do but get back to Dieppe by train in time for tomorrow's ferry. Decent breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express then we called in at a Carrefour supermarket to pick up a few things before making our way over to the Gare de Le Havre.

We caught the 10.32 train to Dieppe, changing at Rouen, and it was a nice smooth trip with no problems - the French trains are very good, or at least all the ones I've tried so far have been.

Dieppe seems a lot nicer this time round, possibly because this time it isn't freezing cold and raining.

Had a very nice veg korma at the Taj Mahal restaurant then the usual beers and crib using a new pack of French playing cards. The king is a 'Roi', the Queen is a 'Dame' and the Jack is a 'Valet' (no, not a varlet).
