Looks like a half pint of creme de menthe. I think that’s Kev’s usual tipple

Ferry terminals are only there to facilitate security and fast movement of vehicles I do think that ones going between two countries should have signs for both common languages within the terminal, a few people went the wrong way, I was ok as we got chatting to someone headed towards Belgium and I asked if he would let us follow until we were a mile or two into the road network to get used to the LHD system we've been fine since then.

We have awoken in France for the first day and it's a lovely sunny day pissed it down all night though.

That is lovely drink called Diablemont, devils mint, very nice and it was my first drink in france in 1989 in the village of Pons, we were still riding so I didn't want a alcoholic one, so I did the same thing here again in Dunkirk.

I tell you what though, getting to gravyline from Dunkirk by following someone going to Belgium is pretty damn clever.

Heading into the port was very odd, several times I thought we must be heading the wrong way.

We have tried aronge? And un cafe creme which are ok but too small for our tastes.

What can I tell you, bears rule, we are in a small town called Morbecque, saw the row of bikes so stopped as they dont seem to offer stuff like Costas in the sticks.

Almond or soya milk?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

They dont seem to even do fresh milk at all.

Notice.ing up but some similar ones

You'll find fresh milk in supermarkets, but even then most will be some type of UHT, common in a fair bit of mainland Europe.

Eat and drink what the French do Kev. You won't go far wrong. Mrs D is partial to a bit of Horse.
