Day two 12th June
Up early after a cold night and off to Dover with Tim driving, we need some diesel, I only want to get a small amount, as it will be cheaper on the other side but the others make me half fill the tank, they don't trust me. We arrive early at the port, but P&O just put us on the next boat out anyway, the twins love their first crossing.
On arrival in Calais we are in no hurry, as we are only booked on a site in Gravelines (close to Dunkerque) for the first three nights, to wait for Mick. So we head to one of the booze hypermarkets to stock up for the first few days and the football (Euro 2004), they even have English beers cheaper than at home. Nicole and Tim get Stellar and we get Leffe, we already have plenty of milk for the twins.

We get the tent up and then the girls and Tim go for a walk to find the beach while I get the satellite working (no problem this year)
Later we all go for a walk in to town, there is a pizza takeaway and we think we could probably get some to have during the football tomorrow. We walk along the peer then back along the sea front until the path ends and we head on to the road back to the site. Between the centre and the site there is a car park, that by now is being used by several motorhomes as an overnight stop (when we went back in 2006, part of this car park is now an official Aire), I personally would only use an Aire, if it was only for a few hours, or there was no site available nearby.
Day one, or Day three
