To Calais

As anticipated, I couldn't quite manage to keep up a blog diary of our road trip on the actual dates, for both lack of time and lack of a stable wi-fi connection. Also, I found out, you get really really tired on a road trip.  I have organized the trip by towns, instead of days, starting from our departure from Streatham at 06.45 on the 25th of July.  It has been just over a month ago, and it still doesn't feel like we entirely left the country, I guess it will take a while to sink in.

To begin with the sat nav took us to the countryside - we were a bit doubtful at first, but the english countryside is very enjoyable.

Best shot I could get of the white cliffs

In Dover there was a lot of queueing, the ferry was supposed to leave at 11.10, but by that time we were still queueing in front of it. Once we managed to get on the ferry, I felt a bit paranoid and I decided to not leave the car as I was scared to leave all of our things in there, so I just stayed put whilst Joey was fetching some lunch. He came back with a guard to fetch me as apparently people are not allowed to stay in the parking area of the ferry, in case there's a fire or something. Oh well...

That's the view from the parking floor of the ferry
