Dover to Nazareth (the one in Belgium)

Up reasonably early, breakfast and the ready to go.

We were going to go to Dunkirk, but Anne needed a Calais fridge magnet (she collecting them from all our stays but we missed this one. By the time we get back we’ll need new luggage to carry them all and pay for excess baggage!!!). Actually we were early and the ferry company offered us a spot on an earlier ferry going to Calais so we took it. The trip across was uneventful.

After Calais we stopped at a little pub/brassiere just inside Belgium. We were having some trouble ordering when a young local lad, who had some English, gave us a much needed hand. I think they were speaking a type of Flemish - we seem to be able to get by in France, but little or no hope in Belgium!!!.

We’re back to driving on the right - no close calls so far, but it does take some remembering!!!!

We had booked an Airbnb for 4 nights in the little town of Nazareth just outside Ghent in Belgium. It’s a very very nice one bedroom place with a garden terrace. Not much in the way of shops open here on a Tuesday, so went for a drive and found a grocery store.

Tomorrow we’ll do some exploring.Read more
