The long road home.

The wonderful French motorway system took us effortlessly up to Caen to catch our ferry. The roads are efficient and in this part of France have very little traffic. After a bite to eat we got ourselves early into the line for the ferry. We sat there as others queued up all around us, and then their queues moved off and still we sat there. Why is it always the same? However, having been one of the last to load, we were one of the first off.
Sat nav turned us off our fast direct route home (why do we listen to it, I ask?) and we went up a quiet parallel road which got us home, but not until 11.30 pm.
