7/17/19 English Channel crossing / Amersham England

We left Senlis, France on the 17th of July and drove the short two and a half hour drive (on tolls,€22 ) to Calais, France to take the ferry to Dover, England. We had heard horror story’s about the traffic on the ferry’s in the summer so we were almost two hours early. We drove in with our trusty GPS leading the way with no issues. Went to clear customs in France, then enter and clear customs in England, easy smeasy. Then drove to the ferry check in, “Mrs Trafton, would you like an earlier ferry?” sure we said and so we set sail one and a half hours earlier and ahead of schedule!

Easy crossing, quite a ferry, lounge chairs, coaches and 4 restaurants. Showers for truckers, quite the operation. Then the dreaded event, driving on the left side of the road in England! We’d practiced in the car before but now it was here😳 Right off the ferry, a roundabout, traffic comes from the right, not left🧐 we almost get run over by a truck, but survive😜 Our new motto, drive left look right👍😎

Ok, two hour drive to Amersham where we are staying to visit the London area, lovely. Our Airbnb.

Lovely, lovey Airbnb. Our hosts are true Brits, very very nice👍

By the way, the rain has returned, must be England in the summer 😜

The town of Amersham, right on the Metropolitan line of the tubes, with easy London access. Also centrally located for visits to Windsor Castle, Oxford and Cambridge.

Lovely city,. We’ve been to London one day and two days in Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge areas which I’ll cover on a later post. But, I must share a picture of me at one of our favorite restaurants in the world, The North Sea in London, enjoying Cod fish and chips, unbelievably delicious 😎🍺

Love England, gas €2 less a gallon and no tolls. Lots more coming.

Cheerio, Tally ho the fox, golly good, 😜
