BT xi - Day 14

Day 14
The last day of the trip but a day marking the 100th day of Barbietours in mainland Europe and also 20,000 miles covered in the 11 trips to date.
After a relaxed (couple of) crispy bacon croissants it was time to had to the ferry.  We had time to burn do we took the very small country roads and thankfully the severe weather forecast stayed away and we had a very nice morning ride.
It was my turn today for the brake problems.  From a slight judder when stopping it became a major shudder during any braking.  Very similar to John's symptoms leading to the suspicion of a faulty batch.
After a horrible braking effort for traffic lights we decided to head straight for the boat.
I enjoyed the ergonomic layout of the shower on the ferry.  The soap was attached to the wall over the sink and well away from the shower resulting on a very wet wc, floor and compartment. Muppets !!
We are currently looking for a corner without piped music to enjoy our crap overpriced beer.  Don't know what we will do about supper but at the 'budget' Little Italy, i refuse to pay €18 for a pizza.
I wonder of cows feel this this on their way to the abattoir !
