France Trip - Day 1

We left the house at about 8.20am in the campervan, and drove south. We stopped at lunchtime at Charnock Richard services on the M6. Oscar had a short walk and we had a sandwich that we'd brought with us.

We carried on and later stopped at Asda in High Wycombe where we bought a few groceries and filled up with diesel. Oscar picked up some bits of black plastic that were lying in the car park, and later vomited them up in the campervan.

We arrived at Newhaven ferry terminal at 6,30 and parked in the DFDS car park, planning to stay there overnight. A security guard came and spoke to us, and asked that we move the van into the check-in queue for the ferry after the last ferry of the day left, which would be about 10.30pm.

We made dinner, spinach and ricotta pasta with chilli sauce. We later moved the van as requested, and got to bed about 11pm.
