A long day yesterday.. the final part of breaking the camp down and then heading in to put the cheap petrol in the RV.. well that was not a good thing to do... with the trailer we are 45' long and although the gap between the pumps was wide enough not so the exit to the pay booth which was at 90 degrees and had stack gas containers in cages.... OK so I back up.... but then I have to turn at an acute angle to get round... as there was dozen of cars now waiting to get to the pumps.. I caused chaos... in the end Sue managed to get a few to backup and move out of line and I went at an angle across them to get back out.... Sue walked to the pay booth and sorted out the money... all to save a few cents:Sad::Sad:
The drive back to Calais we did by national roads and locals.. saw some nice places.. no tolls were paid between Neufchatel-en-Bray and the tunnel. The wind was very bad and we topped off fuel at the Total garage on the main road which was 10c a litre more that at Neufchatel... but I had a fair amount of cash euros and wanted to come back with as few as possible.
Went to pet control at the tunnel... never enough room for an RV and trailer, but we did it.. no problems and round to the check in... arrive dead on the 2 hours before and managed to get a train 45 minutes before our scheduled time.
Parked up in the coach / car & caravan area which is much bigger these days and allowed us to have a cup of tea and exercise Ezzie before we went round and boarded.
we got back around 7.30 after again topping the tank off this end and filling the LPG tank in readiness of Rutland Water.
Home to rain this morning..wonderful.
