M'étant levée aux aurores pour me rendre à Plymouth (car en bonne française, je ne suis pas douée en géographie), j'ai tout de même réussi à rater mon ferry de retour, la M27 ayant été fermée pour maintenance et les petits panneaux d'itinéraire alternatif étant quasiment confidentiels, j'ai pu bénéficier d'une journée supplémentaire pour visiter … Continue reading 5ème ferry: A la recherche du Temps… Retrouvé!
