Time to go home

A breakfast in this Hotel is expensive and there is not much there unlike the other IBIS Styles we stayed in. However we did this to save time and that meant we could be on the road to the Calais by about 09.30  and by following the motorway we arrived at the Port in a quick time and was able to catch an earlier boat, which we were glad to do as later in this report you will understand why.
The Ship left at around 10.45 EU time and arrived on time in Dover after a very smooth crossing only made better by eating a bacon sandwich in the Club lounge during the crossing. We were off the ship pretty sharpish and headed up the M20 and there was mile after mile, about 18 miles I guess of road works with one part being cordoned off for 12 miles with no sign of activity anywhere so why cordon it off? This delay added about twenty minutes to our journey and so wee were glad we were able to catch the earlier Ferry. We arrived on the M25 which although busy, was reasonably fast, and we then said as there is not much food at home and we were both a quite tired we stopped in the Silvermere Golf Club for lunch which helped us a lot.

In the afternoon we emptied the car and then had a rest in the garden lounge for a couple of hours before then having a slight bite to eat and then discovered that the internet connection to the TV Box in the Cinema room was not working, damn will have to sort out tomorrow as to tired to concentrate tonight. We watched a couple of programs and then headed up to bed, Oh our own bed so nice…. and no hurry to get up in the morning.
It was a great trip and we did about 2750 miles altogether and the car performed well and the little fridge in the car was a godsend for chilling wine and milk.
So that's it for now and will report on any trips but non planned at the moment apart from Florida in the new year.
