From Francais to Angleterre, and Home !

An overcast morning in Guines, as I steadily got ready for my mid day trip on the ferry from Calais to Dover, having my last couple of Pain au Chocolat, and a nice pot of coffee..

The sun was breaking through the clouds, as I set off from La Bien Assise campsite, laughing as I remembered being here with Susan and the children, on one of our epic trips..how long ago ? – I’m not sure !

I then drove to Coquelles, where I spent the last of my Euros (well, almost) in filling Wallys tank with Diesel, at $1-36 a litre, cheaper thatn England, even if it was in sterling !

I then arrived at the port at 12 noon, to find the sea mist rolling in, and fog horns sounding everywhere…Oh dear, I hope there’s no delays, I did hear that a few days ago everything was delayed due to the fog, let’s hope that’s not the case today !…er Yes it was !

We set off in a sea mist/fog, and arrived in Dover over an hour late..then it was traffic jams on the M25, M1, and rain, lots of it – welcome home Jotown !!

I arrived home just after 9 p.m., to a nice rest, I’ll unpack tomorrow..

I’ve travelled over 3,000 miles

I’ve broke the water tank on Wally

I’ve broke the electric kettle

I’ve broke the garage door opener..

what a welcome back !

Hope you’ve enjoyed this segment of my travels
