I had a day off, and Christian was working from home.
The Eurotunnel train was booked for 8.20, but we left home before 4 to beat the traffic, and managed to get on an earlier train at around 7. The terminal was deathly quiet. It was quite eerie. But lovely.
We only had time for a quick toilet stop and to grab some sandwiches from Smiths for dinner before we had to board. While waiting, Christian got us hot chocolates and some desserts (Bakewell tart and something else), and helped someone struggling with their car.
The drive from Calais was easy enough, though I felt uneasy, as I often do when we set off on the wrong side on the road in the inky blackness.
Got to Lille at about 10.15. It was quite cold and windy, but the hotel was very nice indeed. As we got ready for bed, I called reception to find out whether we could have our included breakfast brought up to the room. Lovely. So we chose what to have and put our list on the outside door handle.
Bed at around 11.
