Just had a bit of a panic arranging crossings for when we are already over there.
Have to come back for #1 dottir's second wedding.
No fault of her's due to Covid, it has been put off and put off so now it is just before the Jubilee. So going to Engerland is OK, overnight stay with friends then off the following day. But due to trying to get back at about the same time as the Jubbly we had to take a crossing that arrives in Caen at 2130 hrs! So many people must be adding the two bank holidays to their ornery holiday. The day we are coming back the other two crossings were full. So I think I'll be kipping in the cabin during the day crossing and driving through the night. Kipping in an aire or two if nec on the way down.
If we'd been sure of getting visas we'd have been able to book earlier.
Still, done now.
The Etias system was due to begin in May but has now been pushed back to the end of the summer, so maybe loads of peeps are getting stuck in before all this new sh!t kicks off.
Wonder how many even realise this is on the cards?
