Our Van Trip - France again & Dover


Our last night of the van trip! We camped in France but staggered home from Belgium, as we were right on the border. No idea what we were drinking but it came in cool glasses! Felt pretty guilty because, when asked what time they close, the manager replied "Whenever you guys finish". So we ordered 4 more.

Enjoying some more delicious Kriek beer - we thought we'd seen the last of it!

Stocking up on the essentials. So much cheaper on this side of the channel for all this. Pity we had such a small van.

Random Van Fact # 59:
Tolls – Number = 46
Cheapest = €1.75/AU$2.88
Most expensive = €19.90/AU$32.84

Total = €368/AU$607

After throwing a tantrum and getting a stern talking to, Drew was finally persuaded to drive the van onto the ferry bound for England.

Random Van Fact # 6:

Number of cars we've overtaken = 4

Somehow we managed to score a free wireless network whilst in the middle of the English Channel, so we thought we'd better Blog it up!

Random Van Fact # 7:

Number of cars overtaken us = 144,000

A sad sight. We didn't want to end the van trip! So tempting to turn around and do it all again!

Random Van Fact # 5:

Number of Ferry Crossings = 5
