Four countries in one day. Final Top deck drive day, soon we will be on our own drive days, scary. It was an early start in Amsterdam and we were not too sad to see the hostel in our dust!
Final lunch stop was in Bruges, Belgium. Belgium is of course famous for Belgian chocolate, waffles and beer. Which Whitey and Kath proudly managed to consume all three. It was a short stop only 45mins as there was a car accident slowing traffic. It wasn’t a very exciting accident unfortunately (but fortunately for those involved), particularly when you inch towards it for 45mins.
On we go on our epic journey into France - country number three. Here we met with British customs. How is it that custom officers manage to make you feel like you are smuggling a backpack full of counterfeit watches, plan to stay illegally in the country for ten years and that you are going to steal their pen just with a look? They were interested how we got so much time off, were we getting paid, when were we going home, what were we doing, where were we going? We felt interrogated and relieved when they finally let us into the country. Back on the docks at Calais and it hardly seemed like 24 days ago we were boarding the bus ready for our Spirit of Europe adventure.
Another ferry ride to Dover and back to “the Clink” with its tiny rooms, in country number four England.
