Calais to Dover

I am writing this from the shores of Dover harbour where we have just landed. The young family on the boat were excited when the white cliffs came into view - a very traditional experience for many Brits. 

High winds had been forecast for  the crossing earlier today but, apart from a few white caps the crossing was relatively smooth. 

The fifty days in France has gone quickly, nevertheless, we have had great experiences and, we are pleased we spent time down the southwest of France an area we had not been for many years. 

The 5 kilometre access road to the ferry terminal at Calais is fortified on either side of the road by high fences and razor wire. The issues of the refugees seems to have subsided with none being sighted today.
