Day 16

We leave Paris at 8am, with about half of our passengers, the rest are continuing their adventures in Europe. There are lots of kisses, hugs and a few tears as we depart.



We pass countryside on the way to Calais, which takes 3 hrs, including the obligatory 15 mins bus/ driver rest.
Today is much cooler, 18c.

The ferry trip is uneventful, and takes about 2 hrs. We enjoy the company of fellow tour members, as well as chatting to a group of english, who had just returned traveling in Europe.

A cosmos contracted rep and two buses were waiting for us in Dover for transfer to our hotel in hammersmith, west London . We had picked up a few extra people for transfer, but did not need two buses. It was interesting watching 3 men try to work out how to work out what luggage went onto what bus. It reminded me of watching visy vested council workers trying to dig a hole. After 20 mins, of nothing happening we sent our men off the bus to collect our luggage, and put it under the bus......this was great relief to our visy vested men, and we promptly left.

It took 2 hrs to get back into London.

We feel tired and relieved to be back in a country where we are understood.
We enjoy a hearty meal, a bath and early night, ready for our next adventure tomorrow.

Love Leanne and Greg
