We start the trip with a travel day. At six in the morning, we close the door behind us and begin the journey to Calais. With a stop for coffee and the first load at Hazeldonk, and a second stop for more loading and lunch just before the tunnel, we arrive at the Passenger Terminal around 1:00 PM. Our train was scheduled for 3:30 PM, but all the train announcement boards already indicated a half-hour delay due to the holdup at customs. Anyway, we’re on vacation, so an hour more or less doesn’t matter. Finally, we leave at 4:33 PM and arrive in England at 4:08 PM, Greenwich Mean Time. We drive straight to our first overnight stay, Sissinghurst Castle Farmhouse. A truly beautiful place, on a large estate with stunning gardens. A five-minute drive away, we found a pub, also known as a restaurant, called The Three Chimneys, which shatters all preconceptions about English food in one fell swoop. Delicious. Early to bed tonight, and tomorrow we’ll visit and see the first things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
