Travelling home

Early start today, the sat nav doesn't seem to have Calais port on it and we are hoping to find a supermarket on the way as apparently we need bottled water back home too. Really not sure what time we will get back. I'm hoping we will call in for chips with my grandma, but my boy is keen to get home in time for an early night so he's not too tired for his birthday tomorrow.

Calais has lots of barbed wire in double fences, and getting through passport control and then onto the ferry was v slow.
We're nearly back on English soil now tho.
Now we're on the m25 carpark and next opportunity we will switch so I drive again.

I have never seen such a busy service station,  gridlocked to get on and off. Good job I'm so patient...

How can a 5 lane motorway still have us moving at 3mph if we're lucky?? I'm so glad I don't have to use this motorway often!

And back, nearly 10 hours since leaving Dover. Very tired.  Water to sort. Will blog again tomorrow :-)

Meanwhile the holiday isn't over yet. Here's a highlight, coupe advocat.
