We are very nearly at Calais. I think I will be able to remember my way back down to the coach! If it wasn’t November, I’d say that beach looks good enough to swim at… 😉

Once we are on the coach, we will start the final leg of our journey to Brussels.

I’m don’t think Calais is far from the Belgian border – and Belgium is a relatively small country. We can’t be more than two and a bit hours from Brussels once we’ve cleared the port and hit the road.

I am currently on board the Spirit of Britain, somewhere between Dover and Calais.

Isn’t technology wonderful!? The more observant of you will notice that my laptop is also plugged in to power at sea!

The Internet on board is extremely slow though – it is like dial up! Not that this bothers me, it is free and I’m only here for a short time.

I will be switching my sim card when we are half way across the channel to my Greek sim card – cheaper roaming rates than my UK sim!

Time to go and find some lunch now!
