Any hardened ferry goers around? Finally getting there with the trip in July. We’re planning to drive from Oxon stay the night at a Dover Travel Inn, and go for an early 5.50am (Sat) P&O Dover-Calais crossing. What’s the best time to queue/check in for the ferry etc? We’ve not taken the car on a ferry before, only bikes, quite a few years ago.
We then plan, on the same day, to drive to Chamonix; basically N toll routes via Rheims, Troyes, and Dijon. I think we’ll have to get one of those portable DVD players for the minis. On the return we’re planning a shortish drive from Chamonix to Dijon/Bourgogne region, stay overnight, then the next day do Dijon-Calais for a Sunday 7pm-ish ferry. Sound OK, any thoughts?
