12:00
Currently driving up towards Le Mans. On a back road. Just been taken down a one is way street the wrong way...much to the French people's disgust. While they shook their heads, arms etc I gave them a massive smile and Christian pointed at the sat nav...think it pissed them off even more. Ah well, if this was Spain they would have just got out of your way. Cultural differences.
We have a good few hours drive ahead and have decided to take the tolls part way to cut a couple of hours off. The ferry is at 9:30pm so we should make it.
21:50
Spoke too soon on the make it bit. All set to get to the port for 20:40. After a quick supermarket stop for the usual beer and wine stock and a dirty maccys for dinner...bleurgh. Anyways, on we go, through the to Calais and boom 4km from the port is a mammoth traffic jam. We have been in it for over an hour now. There's been numerous refugees walk past us while in the jam...they just seem to not bother about them around here. Also seen a few breakdowns and unhappy faces, luckily not us, we seem to be a bit unfazed after our last few weeks. We are just about to try and blag our way on another ferry seen as we have missed our original one.
Meh.
