Ardres 2018 Photo album

Once again I have been battling with Google Photos to upload an album.  I think I have it sorted (but please let me know if it doesn't work).

Click here for the photo album.


There are over 800 photos, so put the kettle on first ...

Just chilling

Travel updates

11:27 (French time): Rather slow waiting to get to the Calais passport control.  Stuck behind a convoy of Adventuresoverland.com vehicles.
11:52 (French time):  The convoy was made to use a different lane so we have now been through border control and are on schedule to catch the 12:25 ferry.
13:25 (English time):  Google says ETA 15:22.  Will check again later.
15:00:  Looking good for an arrival at 15:30.
15:12:  Congestion on A23.  ETA 15:39
16:10: All collected and sorted.  Many thanks.

Ready for breakfast

The campers surprised (and impressed) us all by waking up a couple of hours before breakfast and doing all the packing so that everything was sorted in very good time this morning.

Ice cream mission

After the thunder storms earlier, we now have perfect ice cream weather and we are visiting our friend Monsieur Sigler on the opposite side of the lake.

Washing up.

The lunch washing up duty falls to these people today.  There was another, but he jumped out of the shot so his mum wouldn't get the impression that he likes doing it.

Orienteering
