Sunday 22 April











We stayed last night at Martyn and Karens- poor Morgy who has to give up her room every time we come to stay… she’s so devoted and cute!!!!!!!! We had a huge breakfast of pancakes, cereals and pastries yummmmmy. We sadly bid an early farewell- sniff!!!! We are going to miss you guys soooooooooooooo much. We have loved every second of our time together and it is so great that even though we don’t see each other much it is like we have been together our whole lives.

We then set off in our 'monster mobile' to catch our ferry from Dover to Calais. On the way though we made a quick stop in at Cambridge- did an exploration of the sites (mainly the university, Kings College and the gardens (which weirdly remind us of Adelaide Parks)).
We arrived in Dover with heaps of time to chill and relax and take in the white cliffs which over hung us as we were waiting in line for our ferry. The sun was beating down and for once we were stripping off instead of searching for more. Blue skies, warmth, short sleeves, thongs- what a way to start our trip to the continent and to celebrate NO MORE WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pete and I are jinxed with ferry trips. Every time we want it to be rocky and rough it is calm seas… and today was no exception.


Well we have arrived now in Calais and have set up the tent outside a little village called Guines. It is cool- great facilities- 3 swimming pools a water slide, restaurant/bar/little shop and without loads of people!!!!!

The birds are singing what more can you want… the Europeans obviously know how to camp hopefully it will get even better.

Pete and I again join up as adventure buddies and are so excited about our camping expedition for this week. Stay tuned for our overseas adventure- cross country hopping.
