Raining heavily this morning, but still wakened to beautiful outlook - up across a barley field towards a tree studded brow of a hill. The overcast sky and rain added to the depth of colour and texture.
A slow morning! Set TT for Dover (spotted a good camping spot at Moorhead near Oxted). Drove to Folkstone and checked mail and spoke to Maddie. Still showers on the Kent coast as we drove to the White Cliffs for lunch – passed Dover castle and the hill overlooking the port. Spent the afternoon walking the Cliffs and practising our Spanish siestas! The Cliffs were a little disappointing after the Seven Sisters at Seaford.
Down to the waterfront to cook dinner and then boarded the ferry at 9.30 pm. We travelled on P&O’s “The Pride of Canterbury” - not a lot to be proud of! Arrived in France at 11.55 pm.
Drove to the Aire at La Plage Calais beachfront. In bed by 12.30 am. About 20 other vanners were there – the French certainly are welcoming to vanners, a complete contrast to the UK attitude.
