This is the last leg of our trip, well the continental bit; we've still got the run home in the UK of course.

The route up to Calais is familiar to us, having done it at least twice before. Called in to Auchan to refuel with cheap diesel for the last time and also refill the gas, though we don’t actually need it.

All other errands having been completed, we then went to the harbour aire to park up for the day, arriving at lunchtime. And it was so warm, we got the chairs out and sat in the sun!

It's warmer than Spain!

This is a popular aire with motorhomers of all nations and we spent a pleasant hour chatting with the neighbours before getting chips from the chip van (we’re oh so Continental in our eating habits) for our tea. 

We were asked if Britain was a good place for motorhomers. Our reply was that we’re all over here, so draw your own conclusions!

Homeward bound!

And so we say farewell to France, together with Spain and Portugal (and not forgetting Gibraltar!) Hopefully it will not be too long before we are back.

(When we get round to it, we'll post a summary of our thoughts and observations, just to tidy it all up and make a permanent record)
