crossing the channel

Calais to Dover courtesy of Alannah. 

We crossed the channel two ways.  Moira and I intended to fly ahead of the rest of the family to open the house and get beds set up etc.  When we arrived at the airport we learned our flight was delayed… by 8hrs.  So she and I settled into the little Ryan Air airport for the better part of the day while the others drove to Calais.  In the end, we arrived at the house at exactly the same time, all of us with stories to tell. 

Here is theirs…

The ferry was like a floating parking garage with restaurants, shopping, and play areas.

  1. Beautiful pictures! Just love them!
    I’ve always wanted to visit the British Isles. I have this little fantasy of taking the family and spending a few months backpacking and taking the trains through all of Ireland, Wales, Britain and Scotland. Maybe it will happen, maybe not. But for now I’ll have to satisfy my wanderlust with beautiful pictures like yours.
    Have a great week!

  2. Oh! This brings back memories of crossing the channel (far less luxuriously) when I was 14 🙂 What happy memories you all are making! Here’s to adventure and living the lives we’re given with joy! {{hugs}}
