European Phantom Leaves Portsmouth and Arrives in France

The Europan Phantom Trekkers are saying goodbye to England for a while, and spent last night on a ferry to France!

Here's what one of the Leaders, Taylor has to say:
"After six days in England, the European Phantom crew is on its way to France. Our last few days in England have been great. As we headed out of Salisbury on Sunday, we stopped to tour its 14th century cathedral. So beautiful! (And built without any electrical machines! Amazing!)

Later that afternoon we rode along winding wooded back roads toward South Hampton until we arrived at a nice campground. The next day, after a good night's sleep and a delicious curry cooked on our camp stove, we rode along the coast toward Portsmouth, stopping for a picnic lunch on the beach and an afternoon swim. We arrived in our destination just in time to check out the the old ships in the city's historic dockyard, then had a tasty dinner out at a pub before riding over to the ferry terminal. England has been a blast, and we're all very excited for the next leg of our trip in France."

The group floated the night away and arrived in Le Havre, France, located in the Haute-Normandy region of the country.
