Cherbourg

4 out of 5

Another easy port to visit with a bit of history at the Dock. Again a bit windy but didn't spoil the day. The market was on so made the place a bit busier than usual

Stayed in Liexoes - a surfers paradise. It was a nice day but breezy - perfect for the surfers and there were a few about
