Well that's it. Today is "officially" the last day of our trip although in fact we're going to stay with Terry's mum for the weekend on the way home.
Yesterday was an easy start and a gentle run up the coast to Calais with a visit to Auchan to refill the fuel tank and do some last minute shopping before going round to the Port Aire to overnight. As it was early afternoon it was quiet and we chose a pitch with a nice view and spent the rest of the day firstly sorting out and re-packing then quietly relaxing.
Today our tunnel crossing was booked for 10:50 so we were up and away early enough not to have to rush. Just as well as there was some problem with freight traffic and we had to go the long way round to get to the terminal. Checked in and as we had got our timings right this year, only a short wait before we were actually loaded onto a 15 min earlier departure. The usual smooth crossing before we were decanted out into the English countryside where it was decidedly grey, although quite warm.
Which it stayed most of the way to Navenby with only a sprinkle of rain just north of London. Stopped for lunch at Cambridge - it was definitely tiring getting used to the far far busier roads - and arrived at mums about 3:30pm.
So that's Snow-birding finished for this year and we're already planning our next trip. Meanwhile we'll put together a summary when we get home.
Thanks to all our site visitors and we hope it's not been too boring. Actually we don't care 'cos it's only really been done to keep a record of the journey, supplementing the daily diary we write anyway.
