We are in Calais!

Hi everyone,
We have arrived in Calais, and I'm typing this in our hotel room. It's been a very long day. An amazing amount of money was donated outside Tesco in Gloucester, nearly 300 pounds, so thank you very much to everyone there who gave to our cause. We then rushed across Gloucester to the BBC studio to be on the John Rockley Show, which was great! Good to see John again.

We arrived early for the ferry, so got on an earlier one. It was quite tough to see England disappearing into the distance, and i really, honestly can't wait to see it, Kate and Archie again.

Driving in Calais was a bit of a shock! I (Nathan) drove off the ferry, then we took a wrong turn and accidentally drove back into the port, we didn't realise until we came face to face with passport control.

I then think we went down a road the wrong way, but we are learning from our mistakes!

Everything is closed in Calais, so we haven't been able to find anything to eat, so the 'all you can eat' breakfast will get a hammering in the morning!

We are off to bed now, more fun and games tomorrow, our destination is Nancy, hopefully write more then!

Nathan and Craig
