Into the sun! - 5th August

The holidays started after a small flurry of emails sorting out a few loose ends. Neo was taken to Charlesbury Kennels via picking up a fistful of Euro's from the Post Office. All loaded, we left just after 2pm for the drive to Dover.

We arrived in France just as the sun was setting and headed for the F1 after driving through what looked like Ellesmere Port.

I had read about F1 on someone else's blog. It had been described as basic but clean accommodation. They weren't wrong about the basic, but 'clean' was going a bit too far! The toilet, located at the end of the corridor, was like a built-in portaloo and the place stank of fags from the argumentative French guys outside. Never mind, it was only the start of our holiday adventure.
