Day 4 - Rottingdean to Forges les Eaux

The day with the least amount of miles to cycle (42 miles) is our longest day yet - we only arrived at the hotel at 6:30 p.m. The morning was taken up with a 4 hour ferry to France. Liz took motion sickness pills and found a quiet corner to sleep for the journey. The rest of us pottered, ate and tried to nap.

Off the ferry

We arrived at Dieppe in France and after a few miles navigating the city streets, we reached La Rue Verte - a paved cycle path that was once a railway line cutting through beautiful countryside. The view was lovely but I was completely knackered - 4 days of cycling is taking its toll. (As I write this Mike is passed out on the bed beside me!)

Much needed respite!

We chose the hotel for its fine food. We had a 4 course meal and 3 bottles of wine!
