Newhaven England to Dieppe France

And so the day to leave England is upon us. Our drive out of last nights pub stay is accompanied by a beautiful sunrise. 

We do a quick shop at Sainsbury to spend our leftover pounds. Then on to Newhaven harbour. As soon as we arrive just after 9am we go through customs and then wait to board at about 10:30am. We find a comfy spot on board and relax for the 4 hour crossing which was nice and smooth with lots of sunshine.

We arrive 4pm local time in Dieppe 

and drive about 40mins to an aire we have been twice before in Mesnieres en Bray. It’s a gorgeous area with rolling hills and lovely villages. We settle in with 2 other motorhomes and spend a quiet night. We wake up to rain and decide we may as well head into Neufchâtel en Bray 5km away, to do the much needed washing -  €12 plus €6 drying/1hr and 20mins. We do a quick shop while we wait. Then we notice one of the back tyres is a bit flat and pump it up  (We will keep an eye on it). We return to our spot we stayed at last night and spend the day and night on our own. Mark accomplishes to wash and wax most of Bluey during the day in amongst the showers. I catch up on the book work. Before we know it the day is done. We enjoy steak for dinner and a stroll through the quaint village. It’s been a great much needed reset day. 

83km in England and France plus the ferry crossing..

We had spent 21 nights/days in the Uk. Travelled 2710km. Stayed 8 times overnight at Pubs and the rest was free/wild stays. We went to 16 National Trust Properties.
