Last Day

We cleared up the billet, handed in the key and headed of to the parks for one last time. We had a few rides for William’s sake then did a final bit of shopping. We then had lunch headed for our respective cars. As Val has a blue badge we weren’t parked close to one another.  We regrouped outside the park and drove the 200 miles to the tunnel terminal in convoy where we checked in and waited for our allocated train.

We boarded the train which left slightly late but it was a comfortable journey. Back in the UK we had a steady uneventful ride home. I hope you’ve reading about our exploits. Attached are some photos of Disneyland Paris.


Finally we droves hundreds of miles on French roads and they were very smooth, no potholes, no lines of cones for miles on end for no apparent reason and verges cut back so no overgrown vegetation obscuring road signs.

We then moved onto the D-Day memorial. It’s a magnificent structure. We found his name and that of his shipmates that died with him and placed a cross of poppies there. After much photo taking we

We all woke fairly refreshed after the previous long day. We sat on the patio overlooking the lake and had our continental breakfast. We all then went over to the pool for a swim after a while Val & I left the pool and went for a walk round then we all met up at the billet for lunch. After lunch we went exploring the site and to check out the activities and discovered the pony trekking. William just had to have a go so off he went around the site. When he returned we found a restaurant and After a lovely meal we returned to the billet and relaxed with a beer. The following day William had a pirate experience booked but when he arrived we realised it wasn’t for him so we exchanged that experience for a Safari drive. We had lunch which William shared with the ducks, literally eating out of his hand. We then walked across to the centre where he drove a mini Land Rover Defender and whilst he had control Steve followed with a remote that would kill the motor in the event of an emergency
