After picking up the car at the Hotel, we started our journey to Dover where we should take the boat to Calais, in France.
The travel between Dover and Calais is not expensive, about € 32,5, two persons and a car. It's a hour and a half journey.
I like to do this travel ;-) P&O Ferries has also a service of seven minutes massage which I like very much. You pay what you think is fair. In my both travels from Calais to Dover, I always asked for it.
In the movie below, you can get an ideia of the travel and watch the ladies doing the massages.
However, the journey between London and Dover didn't go quite well. We can't always trust our GPS, can we? Ours didn't work when we were leaving London and besides we didn't see any signs pointing the way to Dover. We took a lot of time to find a place where we could park the car and ask for information. So, we lost our boat because we arrived 3 hours later!!!
Nevertheless, we had some luck! We got a place on the ferry of 22.30 and the waiting room was opened. We had a Burger King dinner and after I answered back to the Happy Birthday wishes sent by email and sms because we had free wi-fi too. :-)
We arrived at home around 5 o'clock of the morning.... We were very, very tired, of course...;-)
Ah, the highway to Dover is A2.
I guess I will never forget it. Besides, it has the same code name as the south highway of Portugal ;-)

Hello!
Ola! Prefiro em portugues, como é feriado tenho o cerebro de folga e sai mais facilmente o Portugues... Ando sempre aqui pelo blog, ja sou seguidora à uns bons tempos, mas acho que nunca deixei nenhum comentario. Hoje (com o portatil novo :-) ) o que torna a tarefa mais facil, ca estou eu a deixar umas palavras. A vossa viagem pareceu-me magnifica, um dia destes quando as coisas estiverem melhores por aui (financeiramente claro) tambem eu partirei até à Ilha...
É engraçado quando fala da travessia Calais Dover pela P&O... Eu ja trabalhei para a P&O Ferries,mas a minha rota era Roterdao-Hull, foram dois anos de mar...foi engraçado, para alguem que sempre trabalhou em contabilidade dentro de 4 paredes...
...enfim delongas à parte, o que queria mesmo salientar com este comentario é que o blog é excelente, cativante e faz-nos viajar convosco... continue a postar e fazer nos viajar...

Ola, Marilia :-)
Obrigada pela visita e tao generoso comentario ;-)
Pode escrever em Portugues, sempre! :-)
Que coincidencia tao engracada , um comentario de alguem que trabalhou na P&O Ferries :-) Eu gosto muito de viajar com eles. Para fazer 4 horas de carro ate Calais....e porque gosto muito ;-)
Quando eu era aluna do Liceu, o livro de Ingles chamava-se "Crossing the Channel". Foi uma ideia que ficou, atravessar o Canal da Mancha ;-)
Nos gostamos de dar umas voltinhas e estamos a procurar conhecer o que esta aqui pertinho de nos, e faze-lo de uma forma economicamente acessivel. Esta viagem serviu tambem para compensar o facto de nao ter festejado de forma tranquila tres aniversarios devido a mudancas de casa, quando fiz 33, 37 e 39 respectivamente. Foram dias de loucos!!
Marilia, apareca sempre!
Ja estive no seu blog e tem pecas lindas! Tenho que visita-la mais vezes e comentar tambem :-) Tambem gosto muito de ir a feiras de velharias :-)
Beijinho grande :-)
