Yesterday in Folkstone was so windy we were worried today’s crossing was going to be very rough. Photos below show the rough sea…we couldn’t even walk along the water front or we could have been washed into the sea. This morning the sea was calm again so we had a great crossing. Someone did say yesterday they were surprised to see the ferries still sailing.
It is unbelievable the amount of trucks lined up at the port waiting to get onto the
ferries, they went for miles, reminded me of the trucks we saw on the roads in France years ago.
We had no sim coverage here in Belgium so we had to rely on Kate our GPS speaker to get us to a camping ground, which after some concern she was wrong we arrived. We are in Bruges for the next couple of days as I believe it is one of the nicer cities in Belgium…but Catherine, I could be very wrong. We went for a walk to find a sim for my tablet which I got but it seems I will have to pay for a new one in each country as none of the providers will cover you around Europe.
When crossing the road here you not only have to look the other way first but you have to watch out for bikes – both cycles and motorcycles – on the bikeway just before the road. I have almost been run over already by a bike.
We have been reading all your blogs and enjoying them and pleased to hear that you are obviously enjoying yourselves. Peter is impressed that you are getting your share of delicious beers and not missing going to the pub. Stay well and happy!
We are planning our trip but no definite dates yet, but will let you know our itinerary when we know. Love your new car Scot, and impressed to hear about the cooking.
We had immigration and police next door last week and they took away 17 illegal workers from China and Malasia.
