We arrived in Calais about 1am and tootled to our first aire about 10 miles from there. We bedded down about 2.30am local time and had a lie in :-). As we were only 2k from the beach we went for a deek, it was great, dog heaven!! Had a fantastic time bombing up and down chasing a ball, loved it. The oldies had coffee which gave time for the sand to dry out on their footwear but more importantly me ;-)
We pottered about at a very leisurely pace (it's what old people do isn't it?), Bri was banging on about getting some fuel as we were getting dangerously low. The first station was shut, 2nd wouldn't take the credit card, you get the picture. We eventually got sorted but what amazed me most was that we drove PAST an Aldi!! We visited a few little towns and villages which meant more walks, I nearly made it onto a football pitch during a game but got collared just before I crossed the touch line :-/.
We are now at an aire in Hondschoote, which sounds and looks Dutch as there's a windmill next to us. Tomorrow we are just driving about 20 miles to Cassel and hopefully stay at an aire there before B and R start their first campsite assessment on Monday at Ypres.
