Poland was our main destination and it was a very good choice. A number of motorhomers we met on the road had a raised eyebrow or two when we said we were traveling for six weeks in Poland. Still a lot of preconceived ideas about the Poles of which none were obvious to us during our travels.
Germany is always a pleasure too. So easy for motorhoming, and great villages and cities to visit. And catching with friends always a delight.
Starting to look forward to next year's visit already!
Our last day here has been very leisurely, stocking up on supplies we will need for the rest of our trip - this takes much longer when you go to a super store where the choice is so much greater!
Woke in Bergues this morning - along with about 33 other motorhomers! A few had been added during the night! We stopped to get gas, diesel, booze and food - perhaps in that order of priority!!! This seemed to take most of the day.
What we were really hanging out for was the purchase of moules (muscles) from the dock in Dunkirk - and as you would have it, they had none for sale today!!! Very disappointed! So had to revert to plan B which was Atlantic Salomon - not a bad fall back position!
We wandered around the old town of Dunkirk, looked through the Town Hall with its art display - and a lovely young lady acted as a guide for us too.
Spent the evening enjoying the sunshine across the Dunkirk docks, a short drink and a lovely dinner before heading off to catch the ferry back to Ole Blighty.
Interesting to see the new level of security by the French police, army and UK Customs and security at the ferry terminal this evening. They came on board and checked every cupboard and closet including shower and toilet - we even had to get our bed down to be checked. Certainly no photos allowed! But we did get a smile from a very serious outfit.
Arrived in Dover just after 11 pm and at our overnight by 11.20pm. All safe and sound in Old Blighty.
