We woke up bright (and not so early) on Friday, to finish off the packing and to get onto the road to start our big post-INSEAD adventure! Of course, the fact that Thursday had been the grad party and the evening had been late and bubbly meant that packing lacked any real enthusiasm or speed. We eventually got on the road only an hour late bound for the ferry at Boulogne.
Unfortunately the car had other plans. After an hour it started to breakdance intermittently and strange fuel vapours seeped into the vehicle. It then VERY CONVENIENTLY decided to conk out completely when we were only 20km from the port. NICE! Of course, I had a road plan with Citroen, so we called them and Peter calmly explained that ‘le car (carre?) ne function pas’ (thankfully Spanish was his exit language 
!) and Citroen sorted everything out. Very impressive actually… we got to picnic by the side of the highway and explore the service roads of Berck in a tow truck – highly recommended! (We actually have some excellent pics of this great day – unfortunately there’s back in Europe with the other camera. We’ll have to post them in Sept when we get back!)
All goods have since been safely brought across the channel and are now sleeping peacefully in a Wimbledon storage depot.
And so the adventure begins…..
