Sightseeing in Calais
August 31, 2019 in France ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Schön das ihr wieder,oder neu, dabei seid...diesmal geht's zum größten Bullitreffen der Welt...nach England. Wir versuchen euch einen Eindruck von dem 1-wöchigen Trip rüber zu bringen und wünschen euch viel Spaß

Andy und Ulli

Heute Morgen gegen 10 Uhr hatten wir dann fertig gepackt und es ging auf die Autobahn. Durch die Niederlande und Belgien fuhren wir bei schönstem Wetter Richtung Calais in Frankreich. Dort legt Morgen früh gegen kurz nach sechs unsere Fähre nach Dover ab. Unser Stellplatz für die kurze Nacht befindet sich im Hafen...somit haben wir nachher einen kurzen Weg zur Fähre...

Da wir schon um 16 Uhr in Calais waren...viel zu früh...aber wir wollten uns das Städtchen auch mal ein bisschen ansehen und nicht nur als Ablegehafen gebrauchen...

...und es hat sich gelohnt...Calais hat richtig schöne Ecken.

Nachdem wir noch gemütlich einen Kaffee getrunken haben, machen wir es uns jetzt noch ein bisschen im Bulli gemütlich und dann geht's früh ins Bettchen. Morgen treffen wir unseren ersten Mitfahrer und fahren zusammen Richtung Ostküste. Insgesamt sind wir sechs Busse, aber jeder fährt individuell, bzw. mit dem ein oder anderen zusammen. Wir sind drei Busse die die Ostküste fahren, zwei fahren die Südküste und einer kommt auf dem Rückweg aus Schottland zu uns...Donnerstag wird sich getroffen und Freitag starten wir gemeinsam zum Treffen...Read more

Going to a supermarket when you first get to a country is always fun isn't it 🤣
We came here last time, and bought frogs legs. This time I was just wasting time while Brace worked.
I may or may not have shoplifted a drink 🙈 I don't know if it was given to me for free or sold to me to buy at the till.... But I just took it so hopefully the police don't come knocking 🤣 but probably the most interesting part was seeing the UK section of the international iasle... Is that what people think we eat the most of 🤣 half of it is American 🤔Read more

Sva padla na veterinarski kontroli ☹️ Tabletke za gliste naj bi dal veterinar, zabeležil v potni list, se podpisal in žigosal. To nama manjka, ker pri nas dajemo lastniki sami. So pa nama rezervacijo prijazno prestavili na jutri in rezervirali obisk pri lokalnem veterinarju.

Jutri poskus št. 2

Aja, veterinarjeva cena 95 eur: dve tabletki, en čip sken, klepet...Read more

Calais to Dover - Ferry Fail
January 23, 2020 in France ⋅ ⛅ 41 °F
At the start of the Paris leg, I knew I wanted to see the White Cliffs of Dover from the sea. Getting Paris via then back to England on the ferry accomplished that. The transportation strike had me worried but that got cleared up 2 days ago. Now all i needed was fair winds and calm seas.
So far it’s not gone well. I booked my ticket with DFDS Ferry, as I didn’t have a car I booked a ticket with a bike. There was no pedestrian only option. Now, I admit that when I booked, I thought it was odd that there was no pedestrian only option, but as DFDS offered an upgraded ferry seating area, complete with champagne, I thought I was good to go. l show up to the terminal in plenty of time only to learn that I really do need a bike to get on the ferry. There is no way for me to "walk" on. What kind of ferry will only let you take a bike and you can’t walk on? You can fit 4 people in a car for 1 price and here I am wanting to pay for a ticket without a vehicle. After a few minutes in discussion with DFDS, I left their ticket agent, went next door to the ticket agent at P&O and purchased a pedestrian ticket for 39 euro's. I will try to get my money back from DFDS, but who knows.

Now, I'm sitting all alone in the ferry terminal, waiting for my boat. Slightly anti-climatic.Read more

Another adventure in off season travel. Did DSDF at least refund your ticket?

I contacted DSDF and they are reviewing. I explained that if pedestrian travel is not at all allowed that needed to be front and center on their website. We will see what happens.

Day147
Eurotunnel Calais
February 24, 2020 in France ⋅ 🌬 10 °C
The plan was for a nice relaxed couple of hours drive from Ry Village to here. Didn't exactly turn out as planed. We left with more than enough time to spare which was just as well. As it got dark the rain started to fall and the wind picked up. As we weren't using tolls we were driving along the unlit D roads with virtually no visabilaty, add to that the patches of thick fog that kept popping up and all in all it was a bit of a pain journey. Jaynes heart rate peaked at about 125bpm but was above 110bpm for most of the drive.
After finally reaching Calais, check in was smooth and hassle free, we even got on to an earlier train so were back in the UK by 10pm.Read more

We took 35 minutes extraordinary ride in this Eurotunnel train, while sitting inside our car comfortably.
We were welcome by a warm weather in France.
As we are driving our UK registered car… a quick resetting of the fact that we are driving at the ride side of the road.Read more
