We did a supermarket shop before leaving Vosselaar. We had a very slow journey westwards with numerous traffic jams on the motorways passing Antwerpen and Ghent. Eventually we crossed from Belgium into France and stopped for the day at this shady car park at Marck just outside of Calais.

The car park is just next to the official Aire de Camping Cars at Marck.

It's a nice quiet spot.

There was a partial solar eclipse this evening but we didn't see any of it, only strange reflections on the nearby sports hall.

A few local Gamines turned up and left.

Then it got dark and the street lights came on and the reflections on the sports hall got stranger......

......and stranger!

Today we travelled 153 miles (246 kilometres). We are at: N50.95588 E1.92805
