Returning to the UK in January 2012 was by car, driving our French car back to the UK, where we can get it serviced by a mechanic we trust. This is a journey we've made many times before, though this time we had our lodger Aurélie with us. As usual we made our overnight stop at Orléans, but were disappointed that the Chinese buffet restaurant which we normally patronise was closed, with building work going on. Instead we ate at the Pizzeria directly facing the B&B. Fortunately this time I had booked with a ferry company which didn't go into administration before our arrival at the port! Bad weather on the Channel meant that the sailing was delayed, but only by half an hour.
Transport: car, P&O ferry Calais to Dover, car
Door-to-door: 37 hours
Cost (for 3): £207
