... Dan and Charles. It's a beautiful little town and one I was keen to show Kim. It is has high walls that runs 3km around it (perfect for our run morning run the next day!) and is situated atop a hill, so very picturesque.<br><br>PS. Le Coq Hardi is the local brand of beer

Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France vinnyware... before, we were only there to shop and have lunch. We did our shopping, ate lunch at a nice little restaurant in the mall and headed home. Of course, that encompassed about 10 hours! It was a very long day and a long drive home. Gene and I purchased a French wine we used to have in the states (JP Chenet). In Calais it was only a couple dollars a bottle. Well, off to post my train pictures. . . .<br>
Calais France, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France debgenWe set off to France today for a new period in our life in Europe. <br>Work still chugs on, but with only 12 shifts in 42, we have plenty of time to ourselves. <br>We decided those "spare" 30 days should be spent in Europe.<br> <br>I'll skip over the months of research and prep work and bring us up to today where we are now on the 4pm ferry instead of the 2pm ...
Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France therv... though as I swung into Boulogne at 8.00pm but did wonder where the other GB cars were? Well, they weren't in Boulogne because the L&D Lines ferry port was gated and in darkness and I was the only car driving round the port with not a soul about. I went into the Boulogne Casino as somewhere safe to have a last ditch attempt at the internet. (No comment!) The young guys on reception were helpful in as much that they said there were ...

Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France travelledkiwi... while the remainder of us made our way up the hill still quick but not running. It would have been a really neat experience if it weren't Midsummer or the summer solstice. There were droves and droves of people out on the street, drinking and doing whatever they wanted while usually yelling. It was overwhelming for me and I literally held onto the person in front of me as to not get lost. The view was amazing but as I haven't figured out how to take ...
Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France mizramirez... Absythne is one of those alcohol which has a bad reputation because of its brewing practices in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, due to the improved distilling practices (and the lack of metals in the alcohol). I ended up picking up quite a bit of food, hopefully enough to sustain me for the next few weeks. The only items I should have to buy locally is fresh fruits, vegatables and breads. The prices I saw here at the store were ...
