Day 1!!!!

5am start, kids dragged out of bed but ready and en route by 6am, Calais bound.

Arrived at Dover at 11.15, drove past the garage selling LPG - regretted it!! Fed the seagulls while we were queuing!!

1st grey, rainy day in 4 weeks but sky cleared at Dover.  Great crossing,

2hrs drive to Le Crotoy - an aire in the Sand dunes, 5€ for the night. It's on an estuary beach but the sea was so far out we couldn't see it!!!!

5pm Flo's fridge starts screaming = broken fridge on day one - uh oh!!! Kids loved playing in the pools on beach, then they showered with the pump travel shower behind Flo, great buy!  The estuary mud and water was stinking!!  We weren't the only fire engine in the dunes that night either!!

Sand from the dunes got everywhere and there were  loads of caterpillars that bothered us a bit but overall great 1st night!
