We've just driven the car back; the boy and me that is. I must say that drive is getting to be a bit of slog; much harder on the old body than it used to be say ten years ago....  And to cap it all it's not much cheaper than taking the Britanny Ferries via Bilbao or Stantander. I've totalled the cost for here for reference when considering the next trip back to England. Date Item Amount (£) Amount (€) Converted to GBP (£) Notes 24 Sep 2024 Tesco (Fuel) £109.00 £109.00 Fuel for the car before leaving Surbiton 24 Sep 2024 P&O Ferries Dover-Calais £150.00 £150.00 Ferry cost from Dover to Calais 24 Sep 2024 European Seaway Dover - Food/Drinks £3.65 £3.65 Onboard food and drink 24 Sep 2024 European Seaway Dover - Food/Drinks £29.90 £29.90 Additional onboard purchases 24 Sep 2024 Relais La Dentelle d'Alençon (Fuel) €133.55 £111.29 Fuel stop in France at TotalEnergies (72.82L at €1.834/L) 24 Sep 2024 Mercure Tours Nord, Parcay Meslay (Hotel) £174.71 £174.71 Overnight
