So our final morning dawned. We were booked on the 13:36 crossing, so didn't need to hurry. The Swan Whisperer went out for a final walk after breakfast, and then we set off to the big Auchan near Calais, where he used the services and I did a final shop. It was rather fun, actually, as we hadn't ever approached Calais from that particular direction before, and we were interested to see a Shuttle train doing its terminal loop before approaching the station.
Then to the Eurotunnel terminal, where we checked in very quickly, but then got caught in a long queue for passport control. However, we got through in the end, and had about 30 minutes to wait, during which various bits of packing and tidying were done. Then finally on to the shuttle, which was ten minutes late. We had lunch on the crossing, and finally got home just before 3:00 pm. I slept all the way, so was able to help with the unpacking and putting-away, and since then I have made jam!
The van will go to its Sussex home tomorrow, and our next adventures in it will be at the beginning of September. There may, of course, be other things happening in August!
