We finally arrived home yesterday evening after a grueling few days. Next time, don’t suggest we drive down (and back) in one go…
Anyway, we departed Pau at 06:15 and made Calais in time for (a well deserved!) meal in the town centre before boarding the ferry. It is a long drive, but this time we decided to go back via Bordeaux and Rouen, which proved to be much quieter than Paris, so fewer delays. D and M had a nightmare of journey back guided by TomTom, the long route and not taking account of the fact that Paris will always delay you an hour or so. They missed the ferry, had to catch a later one and were scheduled to arrive home at Midnight.
This week is a recovery week, so I’m looking forward to taking it easy (and maybe a glass or two of wine – it helps the recovery don’t you know) before mountain biking in the Sinai desert…
