10-06: Caudebec-en-Caux. We stayed overnight in this port. We thought we were cruising to Honfleur but it was a coach ride there. We didn't do much of anything today. My mobility issues are catching up with me for sure. Stuart walked around the area. They had an elaborated 4p Tea Time. This is just one table of the offerings. They do not have tea everyday as they used to. Anyway, who can eat that much and have dinner in 3 hours?
10-07: We are in Vernon today this is the port for Giverny and Monet's home and gardens. However, we decided not to go because of rain. It was very discouraging to hear that it would be very crowded despite our easy entry tickets. I was a little disappointed, but he people who went said you couldn't even get into Monet's home. There was a long queue that our tour did not have time to wait for. There wasn't much blooming just a lot of yellow tall flowers and they didn't even mention the Japanese bridge. It is definitely a place I want Stuart to see. I think in springtime, maybe April might be a good time for Paris and to find Monet’s gardens in full bloom and also have the opportunity to go through the house. I wonder if it will always be crowded like that? Tonight was the Chef’s dinner. It was very nice. The place settings were formal and nicely done. You sat down to tapenade already at your table. Everyone was served 3 appetizers; one was salmon, one was soup, and one was a delicious ravioli. The main course was Beef Wellington with a variety of vegetables that were very good. The beef was well done but I guess that is expected with a big crowd to feed. Service was, and has been, excellent on this cruise.
