Calais
Chas on a hill
There'll be blue birds over...
Market day in village
Looking north
Cheers in Rene's bar
Our 'Edith'

Coastal France ain't flat
has an extra day off at Gravelines due to 50kmp head winds. Not for us. Next day headed towards Calais on the D940 and as it was a Sunday not to busy. Navigating through Calais was assisted by a cyclist who navigated us from one side to the other. In front of us all we could see was hills, not a good sign and proven not to be. It has taken its toll on the legs. Had 3 days of hills the second finishing in Boulonge sur mer where we stopped at a campsite attached to a bar. It was walking into the 'halo halo bar. The guy yelled out to someone and out came 'Edith'. She not only looked like her but the bloke stayed sitting while she did all the work. We have past numerous war cemeteries with many of the graves with unknown soldiers. Have arrived tonight in Etaples and head south tomorrow.

Oh Dover! What a great view. It's been windy here too, and it getting cold. I have Kerry back soon for the winter and the snow is dusting the hills more often than not. Take care of each other. Trix
