Dorset

We got to Dieppe ferry in good time, joined the queue, got to passport check, and were slightly alarmed when she told us we hadn't paid. We'd forgotten that we had to pay a £20 supplement for changing the date, which we had done a few months ago. So she sent us over to the terminal, right back on ourselves, paid our dues and rejoined the back of the queue. So we were the last. No one behind us. Customs came into the van, checked the toilet, and joked about our shoes rack. They were generally having a laugh with each other.
The crossing was lovely and calm, I'd taken travel sickness pills but didn't feel drowsy. Had breakfast, and later on also lunch on the boat. Enjoyed the lovely peace and quiet plus the sun, up on deck for a while.
The main thing that struck us on hitting the UK again was the amount of litter, mainly plastic, on the side of the road. That was a little depressing. Mainly in Sussex, it improved further on.
We booked this site last night as we thought we'd be tired after an early start, a four hour crossing, and an hour lost due to setting clocks back to BST. Turns out we made the right decision. The campsite is more of a car park with facilities but serves a purpose for one night.もっと詳しく
