We have landed in France!!  We had a quiet morning, packed most of our bags as they will be picked up tonight. Robert had some swim time while I read my book, a small lunch and we were in our way to our last excursion of the trip. We were a little late leaving but we weren't sure what the holdup was.

We got on our bus and headed to Honfleur, where our guide chatted about the artist community, and lead us on a short walking tour. We were then on our own for a bit...Robert and I sat and hat a drink...$26 CA for two... yikes. I had a mojito and it was very strong and not very good! 

Back on the bus and I could barely stay awake, and we drove to a distillery Busnell - Calvados that makes liquor from apples. We had a taste of some cheese with the liquor and an apple cider. I liked the cider the Calvados was a little strong.

Back to the bus and ship, for our last dinner...last minute packing to get the suitcases out by 10 and then Robert and I played a little mini putt and a walk around the deck! 

Off to bed to watch justice league and early wake up tomorrow!!  Time to leave the ship and head to Paris!!
