Up at 5am to pack and get ready for our 9.30 ferry from Dover. Tristan picked up Richie at 7am and we left for our adventure. We then returned for Richie's glasses and left again for our adventure. Then back to Tristan's to drop off house keys that we not needed and again we set off on our adventure - finally.
Seafrance took us across the channel, and provided a tasty breakfast - full English French style.
We arrived on time and set off from Calais to Dunkirk to do our shopping, after all can't go to Calais without doing some shopping...
Then off to Gent for lunch where disaster strikes (well more like a little inconvenience), when we tried to run the laptop from the car's power system to track our GPS route on a map for our avid reader. The power pack beeped annoyingly before going silent and taking half the lighter sockets with it. This then proved to be more than an inconvenience as we now had no way to keep our Beers cold! So off on a mission to the Carrefour outside Antwerp for replacement fuses and wires n stuff.
Mission accomplished and power re-established, but still unable to actually power the laptop, we made our way to Germany....
