Day 1 things can only get better 800yds up the road lost at the first roundabout after a quick pull in and a rejig of the route we arrive at Dover, through passport control drive up to customs and the dodgy looking one of the 3 amigos gets pulled in, the sailing then was a good crossing uneventful though we did have a good breakfast back to the vans to exit the ferry and start the short journey to the Auchen hyper market for some provisions then onto a park up for lunch and a trip round the star fort where there were some naked ladies.

So today we were up fairly early for the 60 mile drive to Brugge this was a very exiting drive I overtook 2 lorries the day before I had done 4 roundabouts a couple of left hand turns so the overtaking on the motorway was the next step arrived safely at Brugge and met up with some of the other members of our party we pottered onf into the town for sightseeing coffee and cake for lunch then a mid afternoon beer table booked for a meal in a restaurant for tonight’s meal. 9FA447B2-4E8C-4671-9A9C-DA7E9F10F415.jpeg90AED3AE-F063-4711-AAD6-8385786E0371.jpegDDE16906-D451-436E-B26C-83DFB59095B5.jpeg

Then it was a slow stroll back to the vans.

Looks lovely, wish we were there, next year perhaps.
