My trip to France

This is about my trip to France in February last year

we had to get up by 5a.m to catch the ferry .

my Dad was the first up so he made breakfast for us .

at 6 am we all got in to the car

we were all really tired so we did not say much.

At 8 am we got to Dover we drove into the place were the ferry was .

My mum was worried that the ferry would not go because of the bad

weather. I though she was wrong so I was shocked when a policeman

said that the ferry was not going.

We went to France 2 weeks after that because we could still use the tickets that   we had . 

we got a later ferry so  we  did not have to wake up so early . we enjoyed being on  the

ferry .  When we got to France  we had to drive around Calais to find a place to park

when we parked the car we walked up  the street and my dad asked someone for directions

but  could not understand English so he asked someone else and he gave my dad   directions.

Then we want to a park and we had sandwiches and drinks. Then we went to a shop and we

brought sweets and we went  to a museum which was near the park. 

Then we looked around Calais For a few hours.

Then we went to a hypermarket in the car, and we brought some chocolates and sweets and my parents brought some bottles of wines and some cans or beer. We then went to a McDonalds restaurant and we had a meal there. It was then time to go home so we drove to the ferry and we went on the ferry. while we where there, we looked at the sea and had sandwiches. we also brought  things from the shops on the ferry.

The ferry arrived in Dover at 6 pm and we came home at 8 pm.  

This summer ( July 2000) we went to France for a week. We stayed in a cottage in a small village.
