Russian Trip Day ten

No rush this morning nice breakfast Holiday Inn style. Electrical problem in the room, EU converter broken.
Bikes removed from the uncle cage and over the kerbs to exit €24 saved. Out of Eindhoven and onto the motorway to Antwerp, successfully managed to get round the ring road and up the E40 to Calais.
We couldn't finish this WW2 themed trip without one last visit. To up to Cap Gris Nez and a visit to the bunker overlooking the channel. Cap Griz Nez was a gun emplacement that shelled Kent and Sussex during the war from France. The battery Todt was built as part of Hitlers Atlantic wall. Excellent visit and a lot of work has taken place since my last visit.
Off to the channel tunnel for 3.30pm and it was heaving. Through customs etc and loaded on time. 35 mins later we are in Folkestone.
We rode out of the train and down the tunnel exit road side by side. At the exit slip for local traffic a quick shake of hands and that was the Russia trip complete.
Russia who have though.....
