This was the final leg of our 2022 European road trip with MoneyPenny. After a couple of wonderful days in Paris, including dinner and show at the Moulin Rouge, admiring the paintings in Musee D'Orsay and the current Egyptian exhibition at the Musee de Louvre we headed north to Calais to return to London on Le Shuttle.
The passport control in Calais was slow but when we got off at Dover it was chaos. The cars and trucks were banked back for miles and miles trying to get onto the ferry. This was apparently due to the large number of people taking holidays, new passport requirements since Brexit and not enough staff on the French passport control. We arrived in London for my 60th birthday weekend and drove MoneyPenny into the Savoy - receiving a very warm welcome from the doorman! She has, however, been a little upstaged by a very beautiful DB5 which is parked at the front door!
It's been an amazing road trip of more than 3,000 miles and we look forward to more adventures after MoneyPenny has had a rest and a bit of maintenance. :)
