I may have told some of you me and the Mrs are doing a driving tour of Europe this week and next.
Crossing the channel was easy, the drive to it was not. 2 hours from Grantham to Dartford is good going, even the m25 was kind. Kent, however, is England's butthole and it took 2.5 hours to get from Dartford down to Folkestone. Cheers operation stack and the endless hold ups and diversions, oh and the greatly timed roadworks
So we're in Bayeux at the moment at a trust McDonald's (mcmuffins, free wifi - pic attached haha) and this afternoon were headed to the Normandy beaches.... Then onto Versailles to see the palace and our campsite is there. Tomorrow is Paris so will update with better more exciting pics hopefully haha.
Things to like about France. Speed limit is 83, motorway are empty and smooth. Things to dislike: motorways are empty because they're all toll roads (€24 spent, 120 miles done) and nothing opens until 9. Hello!! Frenchies!! I've been up since 6 I want some f*cking breakfast. I mean what is wrong with the world when McDonald's doesn't open until 9!!
Even fully laden with roof box I'm managing 55mpg so happy with that!
