L E - H A V R E - Normandy France
31st May..
Let me begin by mentioning that the weather today was so wet and gloomy... there were flood warnings in Europe and there seemed no chance of let up in the rain. Our initial plans to make our way to Honfleur didn't pan out due to the distance and transport woes....so we caught the shuttle into Le Havre for a little look around.
War memorial statue...
It was then back to the ship.... we needed to pack and and get ready for our early start.
Although this was a sad night...our last evening on the Caribbean Princess we were also excited because tomorrow morning we had early flights to Amsterdam and that was going to be epic!

War memorial statue...
Le Havre natural history museum... which housed some lovely exhibits..
Le Havre Cathedral..
...and probably the highlight of our stop... the 'funiculaire' or cable car... that took us to the top of the hill and back down....a beautiful view... out of the rain....and for next to nothing.
