We were far too excited to sleep, so we were up, washed and dressed and heading off early to the port.
We survived a security check and proceeded to ‘check-in’.
When Paul asked “can we go on a big ship” – they let us onto an earlier ferry!!!!
We met a couple of fellow ‘ jobbers’ on board – Steve and Martin
They are doing the Rally for the 8th time – so far more experienced than us – and soon sped past us in Calais.
We were using sat nav & Sue Nav – and coping with the odd diversion!
Paul was designated driver [luckily!] and drove superbly all 359 miles [should have been 331 but I missed a sign!]
Two “blonde moments” for Sue….
Couldn’t quite work out why the toll booth was on the passengers side?...but don’t think I’d taken into account that all other drivers were on that side!
Then, when struggling to find places on the map [stupid small writing] I realised there were bigger/more detailed maps further into the atlas!!! – Oh dear doesn’t bode well does it
