We don't have very far to go today so our delayed start due to a group of Belgians messing around on the service point was no problem. Hot and sunny again so our plan is to take an easy run up to Auchan in Calais to refuel and some last minute shopping (i.e. beer!) then claim a spot on the Plage aire.

Noticing that the marina aire still hosted the funfair that was arriving as we left nearly three weeks ago, we were not surprised to find the Plage aire very busy. However, probably due to the afore-mentioned closure, they had opened up the front car-park to motor-homes so we parked up there.

People came and went all afternoon but a couple from Barnoldswick parked next to us and it wasn't long before we were chatting. A pleasant afternoon turned into a lovely evening and it was with some surprise we noticed it was 11.45pm! And we were supposed to be getting up early in the morning! Never mind, it was a nice end to the holiday.
