Day 1 of the journey

Day 1 started at 6.30 at Dover East Dock. The ferry journey to Dunkerque was pleasant enough and gave me time to collect my thoughts, look at a map, program TomTom and do a bit of people watching.
As we neared France I began to get very nervous about driving but as I had no choice I gave myself a good talking to, did some fervent praying and launched myself onto the right (or is it the wrong?) side of the road. As most of it was motorway it wasn't too bad and by the time I had to leave the motorway I was feeling more confident. TomTom found the hotel and I had a longed for shower, a walk around the local area-a long way from Cologne city centre-and had a pizza. I am now ready for a good sleep in preparation for the next leg of the journey to Ragensburg.
