Homeward. 6 hour + drive to Reims. Our cheese purchases carefully packed with frozen bottles of water and ice blocks and a lot of hope that they wouldn't deteriorate over 2 day journey in the car. Not helped by the fact that the hotel didn't have a fridge! We succeeded though, cheese made it.
French motorways a dream drive, but 80 odd euros for paege from South to North though.
Our last French dinner in the busy pedestrian street along from the cathedral in Reims and back to sleep in the functional Ibis Styles hotel across from the canal where there are moorings, mostly taken up by huge barges. We will be coming through here on our boat next year, can't quite believe it!
We managed to get an earlier Shuttle, and arrived back in England around 2pm. We had been forewarned that there were long hold ups on the M20, so we headed for the coast road home which of course was incredibly slow. A huge contrast to the pleasant French roads we had travelled on.
At least the weather is still good back home.
