It was so nice yesterday to
finally have a warmer day to leave Europe without the cold wind which has been
chilling us over the last week. Ambled down to the ferry terminal at the Hook,
parked in the queue and had a walk around the area in the sun. The loading was
very sedate with a lot less people on board than when we crossed over at the
beginning of August, but then it was summer holiday time.
It was an extremely smooth
crossing, (for which I am very grateful) and after 7 hours we arrived at
Harwich. It took about half an hour to unload and clear border control then it
was off into the dark, concentrating hard on staying on the correct side of the
road. Not easy as the roads were wet and there was a steady stream of trucks
heading to the ferry. But we arrived safely 30 minutes later at the campground in
Ardleigh where we stayed last August.
Today was a cracker of a day
with clear skies and sun. Just perfect as we spent the day having a good Spring
clean of Ruakiwi and sorting everything out ready to put her into storage. By
4pm the sun had gone and think we are in for a very cold night.
