We left Bruges and made it to the city of Caen which is in Normandie. Along with way we stopped at a few towns along the water including Honfleur. We walked along the old town and port and had a seafood dinner that would never be served at restaurant in the US. For one thing the servings of shellfish were huge. The mussels appetizer for one person came in a 3 quart pot, and Ians mixed seafood plate had items I had never seen before. I'm glad everyone else was enjoying their mysteries from the sea.
As dinners in France are very leisurely we didn't arrive into Caen till 9p and the reception desk at our budget hotel had closed. I had to do a self check-in at an atm like machine outside the gates to the parking lot. That what you get when trying to save on the hotel. At least our rooms are nicer than the last hotel.
