We're back on the road!

We are parked up tonight on the Esplanade at Dover again ready for heading off to the Tunnel early tomorrow morning. I'm tucking into a Kalbrau (Biere blonde de luxe) and a roast beef sandwhich. The beer has come from France and survived a week in the fridge at home and the sarnie is from M&S. We know how to dine in style eh? Phil, unfortunately, isn't tucking in to anything. She felt unwell about midday and has gone downhill ever since and although it's in contravention of some traffic law or other she's spent the last leg of the journey down here curled up in a ball, clutching her stomach, on the bed. I guess I'll just have to eat her sandwich as well.

We have to be in St Etienne for New Year's Eve so it's back on the toll roads for the next couple of days but after that we'll be back on the by-ways again heading south toward Southern Spain and then Morocco. We are joining another couple for the Morrocan trip, Paul and Christine and Paul, who from now on shall be known as Team Leader, has produced a map to give us a few ideas of places we might like to visit, here's a link:

Paul has obviously put a lot of time and effort in to producing this map whilst we've been lying about on Spanish beaches and that, folks, is why he is Team Leader. Oh yes, he has an RAF background so that's another reason.

Well, that's all for tonight, I'd better go and look after my sick fellow motorhomer. I'll give you all a medical update tomorrow

  2. Ha Ha. Nice try Paul but you recruited us!! Anyway, I'm sure we can sort out our respective roles as the crisis occur and I've got a great tool kit you can borrow. See you soon,
