Day 3 and 4 biking

Day 3 was a slightly shorter day than the one before but the rain continued as well as the hills.

The day started with Derek (Rachel's boyfriend) assisting me in fixing my flat tire. A small sliver of glass was found to be the culprit.

We explored an Abbey in the town where we stopped for lunch. Then we continued on in the rain and powering through a few more hills.

Much of the countryside today was farms and fields of crops.

For the first time we were one of the first groups to arrive at our hotel. We set out to be tourist finding most of the town was closed. I did manage to get a few beverages to bring back home. We spent over 1 hr trying to figure out where to east that was actually open. We wound up at the restuarant of the casino associated with our hotel. 

Day 4 proved to be the easiest day of biking. We gradually descended to the coast to take the ferry from Deippe, France to New Haven, UK. Before leaving the port we had an amazing meal at a restaurant the is a work assist program for the mentally disabled. It was an amazing meal!

We had to walk our bikes through the line with the cars.
