A long drive to Calais

An unexciting day where we drove 1150 km from Obercunnersdorf to Calais.  The drives through Germany and the Netherlands were easy but there were some bad traffic jams around Antwerp and Ghent in Belgium.  There was also a very slow French police border check on the A16/E40 motorway where it crosses from Belgium to France.  This has apparently been in place since the awful attack in Nice.

We got to Hotel Meurice, where we had started the holiday, around 8.30pm and had a quick wash then went out to eat dinner.

We went to Café de la Tour where I had a delicious andouilette.  After a couple of drinks we had a relatively early night ready for the journey home in the morning.
