we made it!

Driving down to Dover, Woz and I could barely believe we'd made it this far! We half expected a call from Libya to say, "the visas are through, come now", but no, we made it Dover without so much as a text or phonecall, boarded the ferry and we were away! It took just over an hour before we reached Calais. Once there we wasted no time in crossing the border to Belgium, staying rural until we found a small town in which to camp and to enjoy dinner. It was like so many beautiful European towns and cities are - complete with picturesque architecture and cobblestoned open squares where the pubs, cafes and restaurants spill out onto the street harnessing an atmosphere unrivalled in any other continent (or so we think!).

The adventure had begun!
