From Paris we drove to Calais, spent the night there and then got on the EuroShuttle in the morning to go to England. I was a bit nervous about going in a train under the sea but the whole thing went really smoothly and quickly.

We were very excited to be in England and have everything in English, the only thing we had to get used to was now driving on the left hand side of the road in a right hand drive car (massive blind spot). We spent our first night in Cambridge and enjoyed an evening of walking around the shops, finding a SIM card and eating out. Everything felt very typically English, exactly how we were expecting it.

The next day we drove to York and stopped on the way for a walk around Sherwood Forest which was fun. We enjoyed chatting to an older lady about our travels in the laundry room that night and then went into York the next morning. Aaron enjoyed visiting a music store and playing guitar for the first time since we’ve left. After lunch we set off again attempting to reach Edinburgh that night but we had to stop about an hour and a half before then as I was too tired to drive further. Our campsite that night came complete with its own castle which was a nice touch.

I better start a new Scotland blog before I go further or I’ll get an trouble for calling it the same country!
