January 10th England to France

Up at 3am on the road by 3.30am for our booking on the 7.20 Eurotunnel early arrival means we travel on the 6.50 train and arrive in France half an hour later plus one hour time change . 8am in the pouring rain we travel to Poitier, a 15 minute hot drink / loo stop and a 30 minute lunch stop plus a 15 minute walk stop [ need to get the legs moving] we arrive for Our first night hotel.

This is very much in the student area and the room comes with a kitchette and all mod cons for £40 plus 6 euros for secure parking.  After a rest and cuppa we decide on an early dinner, which means either McD or KFC as all the resturants do not start serving until about 8pm. We find a KFC and then fill up with Auchan fuel at 1.43 euros a litre [ 1.53 on the Autoroutes].  541 miles today.

Knitted from heel to toe on the drive from the tunnel to Poitier,
Had to wait until we arrived at the hotel to work the Kitchener stitch!
