Day 52: Busot (Ciclismo)
A day for exercising ghosts! Way back in the year of our Lord 2023, during
Little sleep was had last night, which tends to happen whilst parked up for the first night and exacerbated when catching a ferry at 07:00. A DFDS operative awoke us at about 04:50! Which I though was a tad too early!
Fortunately the sailing went without incident and the sea was calm.
Tonight's stopover is at the same location as the first night of last year's adventure. I am pleased to report that I arrived more than hour sooner and drove 106 fewer miles, a result. Indeed, if an issue with a sim card had not arisen on arrival in France I'd have arrived an additional half an hour sooner! For me, landing in Dieppe is preferable to arriving at Calais. Shame I didn't know about the Newhaven - Dieppe Ferry sooner! So it goes!
Fortunately, the sim card issue has satisfactorily been resolved.
Oh yes, for the first time I forgot to apply the night time headlight beam deflectors this morning. I only became aware of my latest "senior moment" when the night fell and I could see the headlight's beam shining brightly on oncoming traffic ... this was most definitely the case by the time I'd managed to find s parking place where I could safely rectify the matter.
