So… no one likes to use the ‘C’ word on day one however after asking Tracey to kindly go out of her way on a Monday morning to take me to Dudley bus station I preceded to come all the way back to junction 2 to get on the motorway🤦🏻‍♀️

A taxi driver approached me at said coach station asking if I was Miss Sharron and that I should go with him. I thought I was being kidnapped until he told me there were two others in the car. So having now got to Warwick services by taxi I’m on my way to Folkestone to get on another coach that’s going to take me on the ferry from Dover.

Coach 1!

I’ll be back in 3 hours when I’m at Folkestone

So I stopped at Stop 24 to pick up the next coach. You could easily miss the sign if you weren’t looking properly! 😆

Second coach not as posh as the first but to be honest I didn’t watch the television on the first one so what does it matter🤷🏻‍♀️

With the benefit of Google maps I know that once I get to Calais it’ll be another 3 hours till I get to the hotel. I’m not even going to tell you how long it’s going to take to get to Cremona tomorrow! 😱🤣

Back later with photo of first bedroom this holiday, out of 12 plus one bunk on the ferry😊
