Trip with F's on a BP. Firsts, family, Food and Fun.

For breakfast we mostly went to the Arts cafe and had a pastry or savory baguette, bagel or focaccia. That first morning we steamed out of Southampton on a sea day. The wind certainly was very brisk so tendering would have been very difficult.

Now I have always looked up in historic buildings. However I found out this dat that those days are gone. If I look straight up I would end up on my ack. The only way I can do it now is sitting on a chair.

with an iPhone, and I imagine most phones, you can switch to the backwards facing camera i.e. towards your face and hold the camera out in front of you. Actually easier to get a properly centred photo if you’re looking for that type of thing.
 
Once inside the restaurant the view ffrom my seat.

And our meal. A chicken dish and mille feuille. Nice but certainly not memorable.

The back to the bus and follow the Sine.

We came all this way to see a somewhat overgrown late summer garden that an artist who dies just short of 99 years ago painted.

As we arrived the lines to go through Monet's house disappeared so we went through the house first.
