Quick update:
Arrived in Mayenne and checked into the hotel.
The proprietor is a MILF with quite fantastic plastic knockers, there's a view of a river and the bar serves cold beer (which is more than could be said of the bar on the ferry last night!).
Some of us are having a wash and brush up, others are having a quick snooze.
Me and Matt are just about start proceedings in the bar and enjoy a couple of jugs
The drive down has been good so far. Only one sighting of French plod, but fortunately he had other more pressing business than to talk with us.
Right then, off to the bar!
