NASH DASH UPDATE 5
16 July 2012
Day Five: Poole to Guernsey to Dol-de-Bretagne. In truth today was going to be the most odd and tiring day despite ironically not having to cover many miles or should that be kilometres on our B414. All in all we felt fairly lethargic and very tired for when it came to check in for our 5am crossing on Condor ferries to St. Malo. The van was required to go through customs yet rather embarrassingly and pathetically we struggled to open or find the opening latch for the van bonnet. After a few confused glances and gazes we got aboard the ferry with people probably believing their eyes are almost certainly deserting them.
