Day 3 – Across the Channel

Here’s your Day 3 blog entry:

An early start had us boarding the Eurotunnel, the car tucked onto the train as we zipped beneath the Channel from France to England. It’s always a surreal little hop between worlds—one moment in continental Europe, the next rolling through the green hills of southern England.

We took our time heading west, and around lunchtime we arrived at one of the South’s most iconic coastlines: the Seven Sisters Cliffs. The chalk cliffs here are absolutely stunning, their bright faces rising steeply above the sea, each curve and fold shaped by wind and tide. We set off on a long walk along the coastal path—Awen and Nessy had a blast running ahead, tails high, ears flapping in the wind. The views were everything we hoped for: layered whites, soft greens, and that deep blue English Channel stretching away into the misty distance. Classic and wild all at once.

Later in the day, we continued to Salisbury, where we checked into a cosy little cottage tucked away in the countryside. Quiet, charming, and full of character—the kind of place that feels like it belongs in a storybook. After settling in, we wandered over to the local pub for dinner. True to its reputation as a dog-friendly spot, not only were Awen and Nessy welcome—they even got treated to their very own dog ice cream, much to their delight (and surprise).

As the sun slipped behind thick clouds, Sylvie joined a special sunset tour at Stonehenge. Even without a golden sky, there’s something powerful about being at that ancient site in the soft evening light. The cloudy skies gave the stones an even more mysterious, brooding presence. Thousands of years old, yet still standing strong—watching time unfold around them.Läs mer
