On-Board ⛴️

So we crawled through Border Control & check-in then parked up in Lane 85 long enough to make & drink a coffee (to go with our meal deals 🥪 that I’d bought on the way home from work followed by a custard doughnut 🍩 😋 ) and then make the bed.

They offered us the 9:30pm to Calais which only takes 1.5 hours so we dock at midnight French 🇫🇷 time (the Dunkirk ferry didn’t leave until 10pm, takes 2 hours & doesn’t therefore dock until 1am)…
We’re heading towards Lille but – as Dave is doing all the driving – we’ll see how far we get…
I rang a campsite ⛺️ en-route & used a little of my (rusty) A’Level French but luckily he spoke English !! 
The website says it’s a naturist site (!!!) but in the the photos the peeps all had clothes on 😂
Anyway it’s about an 1.25 hours from Dunkirk but if Dave gets tired we’ll just stop at an aire…
TTFN xx 
P.S. That’s Dave’s impression of driving the ferry 😳

On The Way !!!

And here begins our first proper summer holiday in 5 years (having run the guesthouse for the previous 4 summer seasons).
 
And I feel like writing again because I am happy 😊 
 
So on the way to Dover for the 10pm ferry to Dunkirk & last check-in is 9pm.
 
Google Maps currently saying we will arrive at 8pm but give it time – it’s a Friday and some numpty somewhere will decide to have a crash for the LOLS !!!
 
And the name of the tour is Strasbourg (France 🇫🇷 not Germany 🇩🇪) as I now know Strasbourg is in France !!!
 
More later… 👋
