A nice lay in until 0900 then continued on my way. I managed to stop at the same 3 McDonalds that i stopped in on the way down......one for McFood, one for McCoffe and the last one for a McCrap.
The weather is rubbish.....lots of rain storms. The tail wind helps the little car....i manage 55MPG on one tank (when you are driving 1700 miles in a week, fuel economy becomes a major part of your life!!!).
I get lost.....and finally use the GPS for the first time, to find the road i need.
Calais arrives at 1620 bathed in sunshine. I smile my hardest, but i will have to wait until the 21:00 sailing. I hang about in the port, writing (diary) and reading (Devils).
The original plan was to sleep at work (saving 2 hours driving)....but i decided to drive home and hit the sack just before midnight.
1717 miles, 51MPG, 140GBP in gas, 61GBP in Ferry and 2GBP on tolls (Dartford)!!!!!!!
