I would just take the earlier train then park up at the other side and have a kip at city Europe
Caz we have used the ferry for the last 5 years and Lorraine does not like the dog being left on its own in the van during the sailing , so now we are going to try the train
We have two dogs and it works perfectly. There is even a dog run/poop area at Folkestone.We often just go for a 25 minute nanny nap in the tunnel.
come on ... you’ve never had a rough sea crossing. Clutching your coffee and tummy by turns? Shuttle definitely smoother. Well,I reckon so ... we sleep through it!!!That was why I thought I would try the train this year. I won't be doing it again unless forced.
Nanny nap? With all that noise, creaking, rattling and shaking going on and the van feeling like it's about to tip over? I wasn't at all impressed with the dog run/poop area at Calais, never saw one in Folkestone. Didn't like having to get out and go into the pet checking area either, with the ferry you stay in the van for all that. In front of me was a woman with 4 cats in carriers and one with a dog that was trying to get at the cats. Plus some poor scared pooch had wee'd all over the floor and they hadn't mopped it up so Reg paddled all through it. Then they announced his Passport wasn't valid as not completed properly - funny, had no problem the year before on the ferry.
Eww PaulI threw up on a really rough ferry, loads of school kids laughed at me, little buggers. ?
Passed my pile on the way off the boat with a skid mark through the middle of it. ?
