St. Nicholas
DAY FIVEWoke up in canterbury and drove around the town. This is the wall surrounding the Canterbury Cathedral.
Off to dover where we took a ferry to calais, France.
Our luggages! Such typical Asians, we had to have colourful luggages :D
We got off at calais and had trouble trying to rent a car enough for seven people. In the end, we rented a manual van. My poor dad had trouble communicating with the French cause they didn't speak English and refused to print the contract in English even though they could. They didn't teach my dad how to access the gears in the van so my dad kept driving and braking, and the van kept sputtering out poisonous gases. /:
Finally, we managed to make it to the town of Reims but somehow, we couldn't find a hotel. They looked at us and told us their hotel waas fully booked. Either they're racists or Reims is just a tourist hot spot in the blistering cold winter. We had no choice, so we tried to get out of the town. But somehow, because of the road works all around, no matter how we drove we kept ending up at the same damn roundabout. The statue of a bat in the middle seemed to be mocking us with its mouth wide open. We were so freaked out, we took 2 hours to find our way out of the town. Apparently the road we took to get into the town was a one way street so we couldn't get out the same way... Eventually, we reached a second roundabout but kept circling round it as well. No matter where we turned we ended up at this roundabout as well. In the end, we realised the only road that we hadn't tried pointed to the "cemeterie". Great. We gave up and turned back to the one way road that we came in by and just turned out back onto the highway.
We then headed to Paris and reached at 2am in the morning. Instead of wasting money trying to check into a hotel, we slept in the van for that night.
Swinged it at;
4:16 PM
