How else do you explain a collapsed motorway bridge on the M20 just a few hours before we try to get to Ashford, a Premier Inn where the room temperatures never dipped below 28.5 degrees C, the wrong debit card from our joint account being unable to access the self service check-in kiosks at Le Shuttle and all the directional arrows to France being blanked out at the terminal. Brexit???? Once over here we have had a good run to Dijon despite several circuits of each rest area we have visited trying to work out the signage - on one occasion we ended up on the opposite side of the Autoroute (don't ask!!). Chris has just managed to flood the bathroom at our hotel, including his clothes which were miles from the shower - suffice to say we won't be installing a wet room anytime soon😡
Anyway on the positive side we only saw lightning today and didn't actually get caught in it. Our extended rural tour of Surrey and Kent yesterday was long and slow but scenic, we got a full refund at the hotel from hell and are relived to report that cheap wine in France is just as bad as anywhere else. Chris reckons his glass of red has missed a successful career in paint stripping AND our room tonight is air conditioned - Hallelujah!
Photos prove we have packed quite efficiently given there are 2 bikes on board and also our hotel for the night.
