That Thursday evening I boarded a train to Portsmouth. My journey to Normandy was a long one, since it isn't as popular of a destination as Paris, so it was quite expensive to fly directly there. So, I had to take a ferry between France and England to reach Bayeux, the town I would be staying in. After a two hour train, I boarded a overnight ferry.

The ferry was much nicer than I expected. I had been expecting a barge with a small outboard motor, but this was more reminiscent of a small cruise ship. There were a few shops and restaurants, along with a bar, dance floor and cinema. However, due to the time, I decided to retire to my chair to get a few hours of sleep.
