Bit of culture shock after the last few days.....all good though. Calais wasn't the charming little port town that we had in our memories from books and stories. It has been taken over by a very industrial, enormous sprawl of concrete etc. We met a Mexican couple and a Canadian couple and guided them through the maze to catch a bus to the ferry......they didn't realise it was the blind leading the blind!!!! The ferry was of shipping line proportions with bars, shops and restaurants, we read our books! The white cliffs of Dover loomed up out of the mist and this photo is the closest we got to them. We caught trains back to Ellie and Aaron's and worked out that we had made 9 travel connections from the time we left our hotel in Paris to Beckenham. It's lovely being with Ellie and Aaron, but we are aware that our two lots of 20kg's fill their space, so serious planning of our next move has begun - got to wash some clothes and smarten ourselves up now. The UK is almost as good as France!!
