We’re in Calais, France. It’s our last day of #KimGarethEurotrip outside of England.

We checked out from our last hotel of this trip (we will be staying with mum-in-law for the rest of our holiday) and went sightseeing around Calais for a bit.

# – The pretty Belfry.

image

Then, we made sure we had a kilo of mussels each at lunch at a restaurant called Au Chalice before taking the ferry back to England.

# – Just as delicious as I first had it. Soft, tender and full of flavours.

Also made a video…

# – France by Gareth.

After that we drove to Dunkerque, 20 minutes away to board the ferry.

# – Inside the belly of the ferry.

# – On deck.

image

Very easy to pass time in the ferry as it has shops, restaurants and even slot machines. Hubs won 20 Euros with only 1 Euro as capital hehe.

As the ferry approached England, we could see the beautiful White Cliffs of Dover.

# – Magnificent!

image

1 hour 45 minutes later, we were driving on England again. Weird to be driving on the left side again, which of course we all agree is really the correct side ;)

We went up to the White Cliffs for a quick visit. Stunning, stunning view of the sea and the cliffs.

# – Took my breath away.

image

# – Hubs was there!

image

# – I wuz there!

image

After the visit, we went to grab some fish and chips, which we ate at Dover Beach.

# – Seagull #likeaboss outside chip shop.

# – Hubs nomming.

And now we’re back on the road, heading towards the hubs hometown, Worcester near Birmingham.

It’s been almost 6 years since we’re there. Excited to see mum-in-law!

We had lunch at a well-rated restaurant in Paris called Le Bistrot Le Peintre, established in 1900.

We had a really pleasant lunch. The profiteroles were especially delicious!

# – Lunch of salmon tartare, tomato soup, sea bream, steak and profiteroles.

image

Then we went to Laduree. Because, how can you not when you are in Paris, right?

# – The infamous macarons. Nice.
image

# – We also got a mille feuile thingy. Orgasmic! The crispy layers with the intensely vanilla and boozy cream T-T
image

Spotted the Notre-Dame of Paris while cruising about.

# – Notre-Dame de Paris.
image

Then we left Paris and made our way to Calais, our final destination of #KimGarethEurotrip outside of England.

By the time we reached Calais, I was gagging seriously for rice and clear soup. Made it happened at a restaurant called Hong Kong near our hotel.

# – Foo Yung omelette, roast duck, egg fried rice, wanton soup and chinese tea /sniffs

Will be taking the ferry back to England tomorrow to spend time with mom-in-law :)
