Running late for the boat

Tommy had a really hard time in Folkestone- all the one ways, veering, roundabouts and dual to single lanes.

All in all our 40 aud hotel room, overlooking the harbour and white cliffs of Dover was an experience worth having.

Sure, the cordial being passed off as juice and the tea so black that the line between the two is blurred was demoralising, and we did not use the shower by choice. But the staff worked with what they had and for most guests their stay was special.

Rushing to the train is heart starting in the morning, but rushing to the boat to France is nail biting when your guide is cold and grumpy (Tommy that is).

Arrived in one piece, just, to navigate the many lanes (ours being lane 204) to customs and dock. The ship is like a floating hotel- one which we would have preferred to spend the night at anyway!

Nous allons a France!!!!!
