img_2489.jpgimg_2490.jpg Sadly, today was our last day at our holiday home. The plan was to head for Caen, and stay at this 'Premiere Classe' hotel (a mere 32 Euros per night). We got there largely okay. I knew we were meant to come off the Caen ring road at junction 16, but it got a bit scary when (lots of traffic everywhere) a sign appeared pointing to junctions 15, 16a, 16b and 17. A few roundabouts later and we were filling up with fuel at a nearby petrol station. It was at this point (trying to move from pump to cashier) that the car wouldn't start. Hmmmm. A few more scary attempts at starting the engine and we were away, but that wasn't good. We found the hotel fairly easily and got our stuff sorted. We slept better that night, probably on account of the wine and pastis consumed beforehand. That other picture was of the suspiciously named (and coloured) 'Quick Palace', kind of diagonally opposite from us.
