Stayed 2 nights in a lovely caravan park outside Dover and found a lovely village called Deal to do some more shopping. Discovered the difficulty of navigating narrow streets in a wide vehicle when the large passenger side mirror met a similar mirror of a parked van. No damage to us, not so sure of the other van. Spent half a day in Dover Castle, very interesting history.
Ferry to Dunkirk only 2 hours but some trouble finding the correct road to Belgium. Camped in a site for motorhomes, (a paid 24 hour carpark with electricity outlets) a 5 minute walk through parkland to the centre of the old town of Brugges. Beautiful medieval city with cobblestone roads, waterways, old Cathedrals, narrow lanes, lots of chocolate shops and streetside cafes/bars.
Then on to Gent, similar to Brugges, then Amsterdam. Saw the marijuana seed shops and bong shops, but did not stay late enough to see the ladies advertising their wares in the windows.
That is Carol drinking a BEER, a Belgium cherry beer, very nice too.
