Thursday 17th July: Farewell England! We managed to drag all of our bags onto the ferry as foot passengers. An hour and a half, calm seas and a nice lunch, it was all quite relaxing, with no seasickness experienced! The White Cliffs are very prominent as they disappear as the ferry steers off to Calais. At the other end we had to wait for the French car hire desk to reopen after a lunch closedown. That's OK, just takes a bit of getting used to.... A turbo diesel VW Golf Estate was provided, rather than the Alfa Romeo 159 sedan, which was impressive anticipation, as we would not have fitted everything into the Alfa - I'm sure! Our English friends timed their rendezvous with us perfectly, and helped us find the VW Golf lost in the car park somewhere, once we found it is was great to drive. Back to the right hand side of the road again!
