Bonjour everybody
Well we're here - safely installed in the hotel bar with 2 extortionately priced but very cold and welcome beers.
The journey south to the tunnel was smooth and problem free with just a minor delay on the Dartford Crossing bridge - but it gave us time to watch the barges on the river, I guess!
We had a meal at our usual stop at the Eureka Park which is just a short drive from the tunnel. We arrived for our train early and were able to catch the 7.20pm train instead of the 8.20pm train we were originally booked on - result!
Once on t'other side we found the hotel easily thanks to the car's sat nav who we call Maureen - she's brilliant and totally unflappable (unlike her human co-travellers!).
It's now 10pm here so we're planning to watch a bit of TV and get an early-ish night so we're ready for a marathon day on the road tomorrow. Hoping for decent weather but we're not hold our breath (although it hasn't rained on us at all since leaving home....yet!).
Have attached a few photos showing you our day so far - not too exciting but we hope you enjoy!
Au revoir
D&M
