It was raining off and on this morning at Dunkerque. We went through the most elaborate security checks before we were able to get on the ferry to Dover. Firstly we had to pass through a group of about five soldiers all carrying automatic weapons. Secondly another group of security people looked inside the back doors of our van. Thirdly we had our passports inspected by the French police. Fourthly we had our passports inspected by the British border force. Fifthly another group of security staff looked in the back doors, the gas locker, the side door, the toilet and under the rear passengers seats. 

The ferry got going at about 12.15 and before too long the white cliffs came into view.

We arrived at Dover about 13.15 local time.

We are staying the night at Ann's daughter Kerry's place in Kent. Kerry made us a really nice meal. Many thanks Kerry, Gareth and Henry for your hospitality once again!

Today we traveled 48 miles (77 kilometres). We are at N51.1 E0.5
