Right people.
When i was in primary school i went to france. We went on the ferry and... we stayed over! Now Chris finds this hillarious.
We are looking at prices etc and it only takes 2 hours on the hover craft!
Does anyone else find it strange that i stayed over on the ferry going to france?
Opinions please as Chris just thinks i'm a nutter but i did stay on the ferry!!!! |

hovercraft was retired 2 yrs ago I think, never went on it mind. ferry from newhaven takes 4 1/4hrs they used to run a seacat that was 2hrs but not any more.  so for me its 4 hrs or 1 1/2 hrs drive to the tunnel and 40mins on the train Mmmmm I wonder which one I should use  If you think Portsmouth Le harve is bad try BILBOA in nothern spain, you just have to pray the bay of Biscay is calm otherwise its the big white telephone for 29 hrs |
