2 years and I didn't even notice...

...that's the power of blip, eh?

Woke up early in Mirabel. 6.30am. Quick breakfast. Finished packing the car. Said goodbye to mum and the dog and then drove down to the end of the street and turned right. You're meant to go left...

Got petrol in SuperU in Nyons. First customers in Vergobbi cave where we bought a box of rosé and 6 bottles of red.

Hit the Autoroute de Soleil at 9am and that was us.

Lyon was a breeze...through the Tunnel sous La Fourvière with no problems.

Stopped off at an aire near Dijon for leftover turkey legs, bread, tasteless tomatoes and Christmas cake. I have to say, the turkey legs drew us some funny looks.

Drove, drove, drove.

Nipped into Arcis sur Aube to fill up and made it to Calais around 7pm.
It was one of those smooth arrivals where you spot the hotel across the motorway and find it within 5 minutes. Parked, walked up to the Reception area and the guy says "Welcome Miss Keys".

Could've fallen asleep immediately as we got into the hotel room, but decided to go for something to eat in the hotel restaurant. Great steak and chips dinner each. Couple of glasses of wine, a long chat on the phone with Pierre and then to sleep.
