Ferry/car registrion was not an issue! And neither was the lack of car registration documents and high vis. vest, or at least so far.
Unfortunately it wasn't the 1 hour ferry journey we had planned for.
Or 2 hours...
Or even 3 hours...
4 and 1/4 hours later we saw the cloudy forms of Oostend appear out of nowhere!
It turns out driving on the right isn't a problem, Abi not knowing left from right may help.
Navigation through Brussels proved to be more tricky then expected though! Sat nav lady refuses to acknowledge any roads smaller than the main routes through the city and however zoomed in our maps, they didn't show one way systems!
So far the Belgians seem very relaxed and laid back, and thankfully their good driving made up for our road confusion.
Sadly we have discoved Abi's lovely camera won't work with George's new (and free) travel laptop, so no photos till we return. Or find an internet cafe and motivation!
Untill tomorrow......
(it's French, Dutch, German and English by the way)
UPDATE!!!
The handy little memory card in the side of the laptop is actually quite handy...
LEAVING ENGLAND!
Ready to go :]
Driving teamwork
The proper side of the road!
Prepared for anything
Ramsgate was so beautiful
The most exciting bit of the ferry journey...
...Which was followed by four hours of this.
Free laptop?! Did one of your sponsors finally pay up? You need one of these: memory card reader
ReplyDeletenot quite sure we'd easily find a builders yard in holland but good suggestion :S
ReplyDeletehope you'r recording csi :]
and russ, thanks for the wise idea, so we were about to buy one today but then realised the handy little memory card reader that lives where the cd drive usually is could be useful...
lol
