Staying: Canterbury Camping And Caravanning Club Site - Canterbury, England
Distance Travelled: 224.3 miles
Song of the day: Some Might Say - Oasis
It was a sad day today, as we crossed back across the channel for the first time in 3.5 months. It was the true signal that the European leg of our journey was coming to an end.
We left Paris early, which has become our regular time, so I should stop really writing that, and headed back out the A1 to Calais. It was an uneventful drive, and apart from the weather getting worse the closer we got to England (lets be fair, that was expected), there was very little to report.
After a brief sojourn to City Europe (For those that don't know, this is why the English like Calais. It is a massive shopping complex, selling heavily discounted goods, that due to the EU import laws, the English come over by the van load to buy), where we picked up supplies for the next few weeks (alcohol) and days (food), we headed to the ferry and the journey back to Dover.
Laurie got quite excited when we arrived in Dover. The Honda formula 1 team was parked in the departure area (heading to the next race) so Laurie geeked out about that for a while after we left. We headed to Canterbury, where we could spend a couple of days getting Jarno in order to sell him. The camp site we stayed in was a sea of rabbits. There were so many of them, it should have been the location for an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

It's okay - you don't have to bring back any bunnies. I know where to find them here.
