FR26 - The Last Day

The booked Shuttle from Calais was supposed to be 9.46am. Check-in closes an hour before departure.

To make sure we were there well in advance after getting up at 7am. We did the jobs and got ready to leave, then Claire remembered the EHU was still plugged in.  We did the waste dumps and set off.

I had retired the TomTom and set up the route on my phone to test the navigation that I pay for through MyRouteApp.  I have the ferry and Shuttle in and out gps points as "favorites".  It worked perfectly. It also has vehicle dimensions programmed in. Maybe I'll use it again on the next trip to the National Memorial Arboretum in a fortnight.

When we checked in it gave us the option to go an hour early. I took it.   We had just enough time to nip into Starbuck's for a coffee.  Never again!  It was almost as expensive for two coffees and two croissants as yesterday's lunch, €17.25! 

There weren't many vehicles in front and we were quickly through both borders and customs.

A short wait in lane 4 and we were loaded. All very civilised. Plus the train left on time.

After a lack of sleep I was a bit ratty. But a rest on the bed as we went through the tunnel helped. We were home and unpacking the van before 9.45am.

I took only one photo of the view from the van on the train.  Not the best!

Oh. I took one of Trip B on the drive. I had reset it whilst we waited to be called at the start of the trip as I forgot before leaving home.

And that's it......

Update.

Around an hour after getting settled home.

The house suffered a power cut. I had to get the Pathway 4G out to get internet, using the small power bank to provide the power. UK Power Networks are saying it will be back on around 4pm.  I went off at 11am.
