Brussels to home

We had breakfast in the hotel, which was very nice. They had smoothies on tap. I asked for a takeaway cup for my second tea. Left at 9am. It was a nice sunny day. Belgium felt deserted. We went past Ghent and into France again.

We stopped in Cora in Dunkirk for Very Important French supplies. Sadly, we couldn't find a great source of confit, but got some small and expensive tins all the same. We also stocked up on sirop and Lu cakes.

After a short drive, we got to Eurotunnel Calais at 12.24, so missed our train. We got a place on the next one though, which was fine as we weren't in a particular hurry. We plugged in to charge and got some food in the terminal - I had some soup. It was just as deserted as Folkestone had been on the way over. Really odd.

The train journey was uneventful and the trip across the UK fairly painless. We got home at 2.30.
