Holiday Day 1
Packe up the car and left for Dover at 9. Arrived at the ferry by 12.30 but were told that the the 11.45 ferry had still not left and to come back later so we drove round Dover looking for the Tesco which we saw advertised but couldn’r find it anywhere so ended up at Co-op. They were playing Queen when we walked in so that was good but the toilets were minging and the staff were so slow so I don’t think I will be trying one of those again! We ate our sandwiches in the car then headed back to the ferry port for 2 where we queued for an hour to get back to the front of the queue, only to be told that the 11.45 ferry still hadn’t g0ne yet! Ours was meant to leave ar 2.45 and it was already 3. I said that we had been through already so the guy didn’t send us out again, instead we waited at the front of the queue and after half an hour, he said that there were 30 spaces on the 11.45 which was still there so we were sent through for that one and we were let on last incase there wasn’t actually any spaces and I was very stressed at this point!! We finally made it on the ferry and it eventually left at 5!! It arrived in France (French time) at 7 and we managed to find a supermarket still open and get some bread, cheese and wine then we set off to find the house. We only got lost once and arrived there at 11.30 in the dark. Quickly unpacked then went to bed!!
