And we're away!!!

Day 1 of trip to Europe in the Wagen:

Aim - get off the British Isles and get to France

Method - Ferry, train or otherwise which results in Adam, Melinda and car complete with surfboards arriving in France.

Results - Success! After deciding not to bother booking ahead for a ferry place, we turned up to Dover and bought a ticket on the next ferry which was leaving in 30 mins!! We got in to France and the next main point to concentrate on was remaining on the right hand side of the road in my right hand drive vehicle.

We plotted a course towards Biarritz in southern France on my new talking GPS (the old one really did infuriate me that much!) and drove until dusk where we found a campsite and pulled in for the night.

Conclusion - Objectives of day 1 have been completed.
