Lost in France 2022 ?

[jagmanx]

In France for 5 weeks
Data on phone. And tablet (tethered to phone sometimes)
I use giff gaff for my phone. And a goodybag!
After 1 month in France the goodybag is a NOgood e bag they charge from you balance....gets costly !!!
I have a Thrre data only sim. The month was up.
A bit of a game getting a £10 datapack (16gb) but I paid up a one off.
I got suitable messages but no connection...Mr very grumpy.
However ot was just a big delay whilst Three synched with OrangeF.
After about 1.5 hrs all was well.
The Three sim is in my tablet and I tether my phone to the tablet.
So all is well and this will last me for my last few days b4 we shuttle home next week.
I could put the 3 sim in my phone but no great advantage given the "reverse tethering".
Three did assure me this would work but not convinced it would do a 3month stint.
But that os ahead ? (2023)
Giff gaff goodybags are great for uk and up to 1 month abroad.
Will check it all out again next May

Pleasant aire with hardstanding and all facilities for 7€.
Yes a tad costly but very handy en route to Calais.
Very quiet and several others here. A great stopover.

We are in Honfleur. I know it's a Saturday in August but we arrived at about 11.00 and there weren't many spaces.

Great little stop. We were there a couple of days ago. Never seen so little water coming down the Meuse. Tonight in quiet car park next to the Canal de Rhone au Rhin at Froidefontaone. Surprised to see it at normal levels when so many other canals are closed from lack of water.

Entered France via Germany (Black Forrest). Neuf-Brisach, the last fortified town commissioned by Louis 14th, so many great examples around France. Large free park up right in the centre of the town, nice bars and shops. Well done France.

No longer in France !
Not lost
On the M25. Not bad 1 minor slowdown only.
Update 30 min delay between Gatwick and Heathrow
Not much stopping, just lots of very slow
Anyway better than being on the "broke shuttle" !

We are now in Barfleur. One of France's 'Plus Beaux Villages'. It's nice enough but not a village by any stretch of the imagination, and very, erm, different from the other villages we have visited. There's a nice harbour and church but I'm quite surprised it made the list. That said, it has plenty of lovely little restaurants and a beach the dog is allowed on. It's the most excited he has been since getting here. We will explore more tomorrow, perhaps round the corner there are hidden gems.

After last night's thunder and lightning it's clear and fresh, nice enough to sit out - but with a sweater on. I'll take that.
