Picked Aileen and David up and at 21.30 we headed off to Dover to pick up the ferry to Calais. A very pleasant journey made good time, for once very few road works. Our ferry crossing was for 8.30 am
but due to our good timing we were allowed on to the 7.30 am ferry. Good crossing, however, just as we got on we were walking towards the seated area when Arthur was looking around and did not notice the lady in front of him who dropped a euro and bent down to pick the coin up, he almost fell on top of her, but Mary saved the day by stopping Arthur in his tracks. Needless to say Aileen and David were absolutely gutting themselves. When we left the ferry we headed straight to Boloigne the weather was perfect, we parked up and had a wander through the market and then had a wander round the town. We then made our way to Saint Cecile for lunch where Aileen and Arthur had moules and frites and the other two had pizza. Onward to the house in Saint Josse. We met the owners son Stefan who showed us around. House okay but Mary and Arthur disappointed in certain aspects of the house not as good as the photograph shown in cottages4you. All in all won't stop us having a good time. Headed off to Aldi for essentials, mainly for wine. Got back had some grub and wine sat outside in the sunshine had a lovely evening retired to bed.
