Got up fairly early, had hotel breakfast and then went back to see the Tapestry again. Arrived just as they were opening up at 9.00 so we were almost first there. It really is brilliant and this time we went into the exhibition, which we missed yesterday, showing close-ups of the embroidery and models of Norman buildings (Tower of London, Winchester Cathedral). There was also an exhibition of Japanese story-telling scrolls. All very interesting.
There is a market here today so had a stroll around that. Lunch at hotel today - not brilliant.
Took a trip out to Leclerc's supermarket to purchase more wine and were asked advice on wines by a young English couple. Drink lots was advice given!
Ate at "La Fringale" this evening where we had a lovely meal for 48€. An American family sat at the next table and the father had escargots and they tried everything on the menu more or less - bravo to them.
Tomorrow we go to Cherbourg to check out the ferries home with a view to catching one on Friday morning. Part of us wants to come home but part of us wants to stay - strange feeling.
