Day 1

Raced down to Dover Ferry Port, managed to miss our first ferry so had to leave at 4:40pm, which was delayed by an hour leaving us 2 hours behind schedule!

After finally getting into France, we found out all the supermarkets had already closed, so we settled for a KFC. 

We started making our way to Antwerp, Belgium, getting there for 1am. Our campsite turned out to be closed so we spent the night in our car!

Overall the day was as expected, challenging and long. But we were set for the next day!

Here's our photo of the day!
