Back in England

We are heading north on the m20 now. About to stop at Maidstone. Tea time!

Train update

Waiting for our train. Due to catch the 20:49 (that would get us into Folkestone at 20:30 ish). 

On the way to the hotel

We have been to the Christmas Markets and have shopped on the Champs-Elysées. We've been to the arc de triomphe and shared in the ceremony for the lost soldier. We went to McDonald's for our tea and have now started heading to the hotel. We are all SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired!

Pause

We are just pausing for a short toilet break. It's ever so cold (but at least it's no longer raining!). 

Leaving England

We have safely arrived in Folkestone. Just about to board. 

Weather

The forecast suggests that there will be much rain on Thursday and Friday. A waterproof is a MUST! 

A day with lots of new things

Today has been a day where we have explored many new things and seen some fantastic sights. 

We started at Bayeux, where we saw the world-famous tapestry. The children all listened fantastically to the information in the headsets and we're fascinated by the  depiction. It is a fantastic sight and shouldn't be missed if you are visiting the area! 

Then we went to the cathedral. We were all so impressed - it is so big and grand ... And so very old! 

A bit of free time for some shopping, creeps and ice cream was then in order. 

After our picnic we visited the British cemetery in Bayeux 

The goats cheese farm was an experience and the cider/apple farm was really interesting. The students were engrossed!

A night on the beach rounded it all off perfectly!

See you all tomorrow 😃
