All reasonably efficient but not very inspiring. And being nearly last off, I was also way back in the customs line. Someone has to be, I suppose.

Information about embarkation would have been appreciated, all else was fine. Talking with one of the D-Day veterans who was returning from the commemoration events makes one appreciate how straightforward and lucky one is. Their journey to the Cherbourg and the Cotentin Peninsula in 1944 was undoubtedly rather more hazardous than the one on the 7th June this year.
