In case you think this is a picture from a French ferry boat crossing the English Channel, you are correct! Sadly, the day after we got to Hungarford, England, we had to get moving on the tour and drove down to the water, boarded the ferry boat in our bus, and then went upstairs for the seven-hour trip across the English Channel. The water was active but not overly unruly so the crossing was relatively peaceful. It was a huge ferry boat with two choices of eateries as well as duty-free shopping, movies, etc. After exploring the ship, inside and out, we settled down with a books and, yes, even dozed off a bit as we were barely out of the jet lag mode from our arrival in England.
The crossing was uneventful and we finished off the last three hours with a shared meal with the rest of the group at the abundant cafeteria onboard the ship. When one says 'cafeteria', I'm sure they aren't imagining the scope of available food to be found in this one! We were not suffering.
It was a long bus ride once we got off the ship in Normandy to our hotel for the next few days. Since we had eaten on the ship, it was a matter of staggering off the bus, getting our room keys, and falling into bed. If we had known then about the great breakfast awaiting us the next morning, we might have all woken up a bit more energetically.
