The Adventure Begins!

The Adventure Begins!

1 October – After sleeping in a pub carpark (The Pilot, Poole) we arrived at Poole Harbour 3.45 am for the crossing from Poole to St Malo via Guernsey – ferryman asked Mogs: Where are you going?

M: Poole!!!  Way too early for M J

Then round the corner to get on the ferry: -

D: That’s not right – it’s going to the Channel Islands….

M: We ARE going to the Channel Islands!!!

2 blonde moments to start the day!!

Bye bye England!

Setting off and harbourmaster pilot who we saw jumping back to his boat

Well rough crossing – lots of sick golightly’s (grandad’s prediction was right!) but got to Guernsey and straight to cousin Pete at his fruit and veg wholesalers – good to catch up with him and he gave us a huge box full of food – thanks Pete!  We won’t need to shop for ages!!

Off on the next ferry to France and Vannie is front of the queue to drive off – even had a compliment from the French ferryman on how well D drove onto the ferry – M’s turn to drive in France – where will we end up?  Ditch??!!

Mogs is catching up with this blogging thing while on the ferry – ready to upload when we have free WiFi – with a wine of course – we are now European Globetrotters forever on the lookout for free WiFi!!
