With 420 miles to go the plan was just to see how the day panned out as our crossing wasn't until 1.20am TUESDAY morning. However, the plan was that if we arrived early we could get an earlier crossing, like Monday in the early hours, then we could call on Rachel's bro's family on our way back.
Things were going very well until we reached Rouen. At the best of times it's a 'mare to get through but this time the bridge over The Seine which the satnav was sending us over was shut. You know things are getting personal when Rachel goes off on one with the satnav and says 'SHE' should've known that!! Oooooo, the claws were out! Anyway, with Bri's excellent navigation skills (WHO is writing this blog?) we managed to see some of the old quarters of the city. It was beautiful but I don't think the locals sitting at the pavement cafes quite expected something so big to come down the narrow streets!
Arrived at Eurotunnel at 10pm to be told there had been a train breakdown and we couldn't cross until our allotted time unless we paid an extra €100, no chance!! The visit to Richard looks off :-/
