Sorry about the delay in posting to the blog, but wi-fi access has been difficult to find. Thanks for all the comments and encouragement to date, hope you enjoy reading about our progress so far!
Day 1 – September 9
Well, we finally did it! We left home at 09.09hrs on 09/09/09 as planned, witnessed and photographed by Ross just to prove it. We had a good journey to Dover avoiding all the rush hour traffic as we hoped, and arrived in good time for the ferry. There were lots of motorhomes of all shapes, sizes and nationalities accompanying us so we will not be lonely on our travels! We had planned to spend our first night at a campsite but the aire at Calais Plage, visible from the ship, was quite empty and so we decided to stay there instead. At 7 euros for the night it seemed like a good start! We managed to get the England v Croatia game on our TV so settled down with a bottle of red and enjoyed our first night of la vie en France!
