Set alarm for 7.30 and we were ready to leave by
8.30. Drove along coast road to Calais through villages with WWII cemeteries and headstones in the church yards, as well as a
Chinese memorial. Strange that we've done
that we've done this journey so many times but never before seen the character
of the area. Quick dash into City Europe
and then to the Port. There are a
surprising number of ‘Staying over’ lay-bys along this road so if you couldn’t
get a space at Wissant it would be fine.
Also REALLY surprised at how close to the UK we are – the cliffs at
Dover are really clear.
Passport control and check-in was all smooth, as
was the crossing to Chris’ relief!!
Hateful
traffic on M25 and Birmingham so went cross country to Bridgenorth, 5 ½ hours
later we made it home.
GREAT HOLIDAY.
