France 2010, The Planning

2010

Once again we used our Tesco Supermarket vouchers to pay for campsites with Siblu holidays, we booked four campsites along France's Atlantic coast. A change to the usual ferry crossings though, not P&O Hull to Zeebrugge but Condor Ferries Poole to St Malo, longer drive in England but much shorter in France, about a 200 mile saving altogether. As it was going to be a long drive in England and as the ferry sailed at 13:30 we planned to set off the night before and camp near Oxford, to give us plenty of time the next day. We would be meeting up with Mick and Bren on our second day in France and travelling together for the rest of the trip. Also a change from the usual, to save money the plan was to not use toll roads in France, as the tolls had been very expensive the previous year.

World Cup year again, so we have to be sure to be near a TV on England match days.

As last year I would just like to mention how helpful the Siblu booking rep was during the procedure, all the way through, as we continually changed the itinerary via our many emails, thanks again Anna.
