Wednesday 8th September – An Adventure at last

Last minute. Lots of paperwork due to pandemic and Brexit. So a tiny bit of trepidation as we arrived at Eurotunnel at 8.00. But sailed straight through leaving plenty of time to get a grotty coffee at the (almost deserted) terminal.

It really was a long way. 460 miles, but pretty easy on fabulous French motorways. So much so that Eileen has offered to share the driving next time. Challenges at the very end when the motorway toll barrier didn’t work, diversions in the final few kilometres, and not being able to find the house. All pretty trivial except when you’re absolutely done in!

But well worth it. Chinon is amazing but more of that tomorrow.
