Here we sit …
In 2009 we had to cross rivers by ferries numerous times with no problems. I think our longest wait was about 15 minutes.
But now we are in France, and the ferry closes for lunch! We will be stuck here for almost 2 hours!
At first we thought it would be ok because we had planned to have lunch at the ferry’s cafe – until we realized the cafe is on the other side. There are no facilities or towns on this side, so all we have is our emergency rations, and once again we will most likely not make it to our destination today.
The rain has finally stopped, and it is a little warmer, maybe into the 60s, but we still have a strong headwind.
Ah, and in case you are wondering – this is an odd ferry. It is, in fact, called a transporter bridge. It is a platform suspended from cables over a high span so ships can pass under. I’ll post more pics later … when it opens and we finally get to cross.
