On a lighter note.......... we're coming home! (Sun 24th Nov)

Well, our 10 week and 3 day tour of France is coming to end.  We are parked up in the Aire at Calais ready for the early ferry to Dover on Monday morning at 06:45 (!)




You might like to think that we chose that time so we could complete our journey back to Bristol in day light, or so that we could extend our last Sunday in France................well you would be wrong!  We chose it because it was the cheapest crossing we could find! (only £38 !).

Anyway, we have had a fantastic time in France,  The 'Wolf' performed brilliantly, we did a lot of cycling, drank a lot of wine, eat a load of cheese, and munched our way through a mountain of fresh baguettes.  The scenery has ranged from 'rustic' to 'breathtaking' to 'Awesome dude!'  We have climbed  monster sand dunes, walked across mountains, climbed to the top of a volcano.  We have seen Chateau after Chateau, fort after fort, medieval town after medieval town, more vinyards than you shake a stick at.  We have surfed in the French Atlantic and paddled in the French Meditteranean, drank Bordeaux in Bordeaux, ate Roquefort in Roquefort and quaffed Champagne in Champagne.  We've seen Brown Beavers, Pink Flamingoes, Golden Eagles and Griffon Vultures.

It has been an adventure and we return to England tomorrow.........

Where next ???
