White cliffs of Dover

June2

Germany didn’t want us to leave! Our friends offered us their flat to house sit while they are on their honeymoon, which was such a cool opportunity as we loved our week in Germany. But we decided that London was calling and we had to start searching out job opportunities. It ended up being our longest day of travel we’ve had so far, with ticket problems, cancelled trains, late ferries and a few extra buses. Two trams, three trains, two buses, one ferry and a taxi to cross Germany, Brussels, France and England. We ended our day in style though sitting at a table at the front of the ferry, with the sun setting and a bottle of champagne as we sailed from Calais to Dover to reach our final destination, the UK.

We spent our last holiday night in a traditional B & B in Dover, with a full English breakfast followed by fish and chips on the beach – which we’d been craving and planning since Vietnam. The next day it was off to London to start dossing with our friends and sussing out the jobs.

    Our travel that day was already planned to be extensive, but it became complicated when our tickets were not reteivable so we had to sneak on the train in Germany. When our train from Belgium to France was cancelled we had to buy new tickets to get to the Dover ferry.
    We have tried to refund our cancelled train tickets which cost many many euros, but its not easy when you have a French ticket bought in Germany that is cancelled in Belgium. it is not easy for a couple of Kiwis to sort this out and we have gievn up. So my word of advice is not to expect a refund when you are dealing with four different nationalities and languages!
