• We are home

    October 1, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    After the very nice hotel we came back to reality at a budget hotel which had goats in the back yard, it was very near the port of Dunkirk. The town in which it was located was called Loon Plage. It had an interesting history a nice church and patisserie.

    Up this morning at 07.30. A quick breakfast then to the ferry for a smooth crossing. Dover was under cloud as we set off in the car and soon we were at a stand still in the M20 for road works. The roads were surprisingly busy for a Sunday and the road surface on UK roads is one of the worst.
    We got home at 4pm having stopped to buy food for tonight's meal.

    21 days since we left Malta.
    2200 miles
    71 UK gallons or 322 litres of petrol.
    Half a litre of oil is all Blubelle used.
    I've already drained the oil while it was hot and will treat her to new oil and filter.
    No breakdowns at all, just a squeak that appeared then disappeared after a couple of days.
    The same as on the drive to Malta we used exactly one tube of toothpaste.

    We have had such a good time.
    We made new friends and even met friends from previous adventures.
    There are many new memories and photographs to look back on.
    Thanks to all who followed our adventure, it was nice thinking you were there. Maybe we'll do another some time.
