Cherbourg

The weather has improved which gave us the opportunity to go into town. We visited La Cite De La Mer, the fabulous maritime museum. It's built around the magnificent old transatlantic terminal and focuses on underwater exploration. First we went through a decommissioned nuclear submarine, Le Redoutable. It's enormous and was part of the French nuclear deterrent. We then had a quirky interactive presentation where we we received training before taking part in some futuristic underwater exploration. A trip to the huge aquarium was next followed by a trip through the Titanic rooms. I'll post some photos separately as I can't load them with my iPad. We then strolled through the deserted town. If the forecast is OK we plan to leave tomorrow to Alderney.
