World History

Ferry. Reading the times, while having morning breakfast -- there was an ad. Save 5 coupons from The Times and get a round trip to Calais for 5 pounds. So we need 10 papers.

We enjoyed it. Problem was, this was August and Calais and most of France was shut down for employee vacations. Then comes the next problem. We stopped for lunch but the menu is in French and we don't know a word of it except Wee-wee and murky bow-cups. So we pointed to something on the menu and it filled us up.

Then, on to a German WW II bunker that had been turned into a museum.

Snack. Then back to Dover.

Coming back, seeing the White Cliffs of Dover. Vera L ynn song came to my mind.



Trip to Paris, using the Chunnel -- I posted on that one. I still tell stories about that one, courtesy of my drunk boss. He came close to getting arrested at the Paris train station.
