Sigh...
...a gruelling six hour ferry trip was one thing - we arrived back in the country at 2000hrs, but weren't allowed off until 2045...
...we then had a four hour drive from Harwich back up here to contend with, giving an ETA of 00:45... as we headed up the A1 we were diverted (without a diversion route to follow) as it was completely closed because of accidents... just what we needed!
Anyway, we're home now - Metro is, of course, still in one piece - he didn't miss a beat on the journey up here. It's great to be back on British roads, driving on the left again feels so much better (although Keith did have one slip up on the way home on one of our A1 diversions driving up an unlit, unused country lane on the right hand side - oops!). It's amazing as well how comforting British roadsigns are, you don't take any notice of them when you drive, yet when you have been suffering the Europe's badly designed signs for so long, you really do appreciate it...
Metro probably feels much better as well - we saw four other Metro's on the way back up here and now he's home... After unpacking in the morning, weather dependent, he will get a good wash, hoover and polish...
Off to bed now... Absolutely knackered - considering we left the campsite in Amsterdam at 10am their time, now is after 2am... Where could we have flown in sixteen hours?!
