We were both pretty full from yesterdays dinner and so decided not to spend £ 25.00 per head for breakfast as right next door there was a boulangerie and so Jennifer went to collect some rolls and Noel organised retrieving our car from the valet service.
It was pouring with rain as we left Rouen and a little earlier than we had planned and so the Satnav was telling u approx. two hours and fifteen minutes to arrive at the Port of Calais Ferry terminal, We had already changed out ferry from the 16.20 to the 14.20 but now it looked likes that we could be a to early for this one and so on checking there was another at 12.50.
Once the rain stopped Noel put his foot down so as to get to Calais early and we arrived at just on 11.50 and without trouble they put us on this ferry. We retired to the DFDS premium lounge which on this ship was looking a bit sad but at least it was quiet.
The ship arrived in Dover and where we parked on the ship their was a large truck just behind us from you know whom.
We arrived home at about 1530 and the Tom Tom Satnav has a good way of avoiding all the traffic so brought us the M25 early and thro Oxshot and so we arrived home without being too tired,
With the car unpacked a cup of tea and biscuit followed with a little zzz before a glass of wine and early dinner.
Thats another trip, taking the extra time getting there and back is actually more expensive than you think as we tend to go for nice Hotels and they are not so cheap.
