We’ve successfully fitted everything into the van, made it to Dover and shown Jess the sea for the first time as we sailed away from the White Cliffs this morning. First evening/night was surprisingly good, once we figured out we had to peg down Jess’s seat to stop her tipping it over… So far we’ve only forgotten washing up liquid (easily fixed) and the apples that were in our fruit bowl – we hope they won’t be too fruity when we get back…

We’re currently cruising down the E42 towards Lille, planning to make it to Luxembourg tonight and then break the driving with a few days around the Bodensee over the weekend. More updates to follow when we’ve actually done something interesting!
