Day 7: Chartres - Isigny sur Mer, 290 km

Made it across France to Normandie. Woke up to a slight and warm rain, which was a welcome change to the previous two days. Wanted a bit cooler wheather and I was not going to be disappointed!

Just when passing into Caen things started to look worrying along the horizon. Stopped and pulled on some rain gear, not a minute too late. From there on it was all thunderstorms and lightning. Hence no pics today or the camera would probably have been long gone. Eventually arrived at Isigny, all soaked despite very good rain gear, and found a marvelous little four star campsite. Still the same horrible toilets of course...

This will be my base for a couple of days, before leaving for England on the third (Roscoff-Plymoth) and then on to Spain via ferry, arriving Santander the 7th.

But before that it'll be the tapestry at Bayeux, Mont St Michel and a bit of the Normandy landings. Yes yes, I know I nagged a bit about war-tourism and Verdun and now I'll be part of it anyway...
