European Road Trip - DAY 17

Camping de Chalons-en-Champagne near Reims to Home

Another long day of travelling. We woke up having had a pretty good night at the campsite that time forgot and packed up leisurely. We went to Reims and had a wander around the cathedral and the centre and found some lunch before heading back to the van to make our way to Calais.

We were early getting to the eurotunnel so chilled in the picnic area and made a coffee and some food. Before we knew it we were boarding the train and went back in time!

What an adventure!!!

Approximately 2,200 miles, 5 tanks of fuel, 16 nights, 17 days, 11 campsites, 9 cities, 3 lakes, countless wee stops, supermarket visits, church's and 1 hot spring later and we're home!

We're all looking forward to our beds, nice smelling towels and home cooked food. But my god we've had a blast! We've loved every second of our adventure and it was well worth the 6 months Andy spent planning it (thank you baby, you smashed it).

There might be a little radio silence whilst I get through the 5,678 loads of washing and we all all start operation 'clean up'. Including sorting a broken patio door window, and replacing a broken washing machine 🙃

Then we'll plan the next one 😉Read more
