No just an early get up Dave. Leaving at 0130, be at ferry for 0530. That'll hopefully get us to the chateaux for evening meal. It's a long day but didn't really want an overnight stop. We are staying a premier Inn at Dover coming back tho.

Ah we've only got a 2 hr drive the other side so hopefully be there about 9pm.:)
We're staying in Boulogne the night before we come home - we've found it's cheaper that way.;)

When your going abroad I don't care what time you scrape yourself out of bed because I get all excited! I enjoy the travelling as much as the holiday itself.

Agree Dave but 01:30 is a late night, not an early get up.=)) Although you're in bed by 9 normally though;) so 1:30 is early for you:D

Very true. I go back to work on Monday and I've told them I want to move to 6am starts. Means I won't get done till 6-6.30 most days but won't have to be in bed till 10-10.30. I've packed in Saturdays as well. Want to try and get a more normal life back after the last few weeks.

This weekend is our final preparation weekend before our off on Thursday. Just spent the morning cleaning and sealing the wheels, have just finished washing and towel drying the zed.
A pic of the inside of the wheels. (not bad considering they have been on for 6 months)

We have done a slight change to our plans. Could not see the point going into Andorra just for the evening and leaving in the morning, so instead we are going down to Roses in Spain on the Friday and should get there around 2 to 3pm so plenty of chill out time before driving down to the villa
