Our early morning drive from Bath to Portsmouth went reasonably smoothly. We needed to drop off our rented Mercedes at National Car Rental and catch the LD Ferry for Le Havre.
On arrival at Portsmouth, I found the National Car Rental offices closed, so I left the car key and paperwork in the Dropbox.
We then proceeded to the ferry terminal to check in for our ferry ride. Our ferry check-in time was 7:30am, and we had plenty of time to spare.
I would have liked to spend a few hours exploring Portsmouth harbor, especially the HMS Victory - the famous flagship of Admiral Horatio Nelson (who won a brilliant victory over the French navy at the battle of Trafalgar). But, alas, we did not have enough time.
We departed Portsmouth, England, aboard LD Lines (Louis Dreyfus) on June 4, 2010, at 08:30 and arrived in Le Havre at 12:45 ( a 4-hour ferry ride) for the price of 63.75 GBP (USD 88) for all 3 passengers.
As we departed the harbor, I was treated to a beautiful view of Portsmouth harbor.
Four hours later, we docked in Le Havre, France, and our adventures continued in Honfleur.
