I have never been so happy to get off a boat, it has made me totally revisit my travel plans through Europe. I don’t know if i could ever get that ferry again. It was awful. Literally awful. I think next time i would get the St Malo ferry from Portsmouth and drive some of

Today has been literally one of the most unpleasant days of my life and something i promise you i will not do again. EVER!! To be fair i slept ok last night 3 pints of Birra Moretti always helps me drift off and when i woke there was an amazing sun rise which literally was
