The last day of our Contiki tour. Finally, after 33 days, and some 12,000 kilometers, it is all coming to an end.
While the rest of the tour went to see if the Heineken Brewery was open, Roberta and I decided to walk around the city and see it in daylight instead. This was a bit of a mistake, because nothing seemed to be open until at least ten am, but we walked aimlessly anyway.
We were picked up just after midday to start our journey to Calais. We caught the ferry across to Dover, seeing the famous White Cliffs. This was a fairly smooth and uneventful ride, although we did buy some duty-free presents for our accommodation providers in London.
After getting through immigration, we drove 2.5 hours back to the Royal National Hotel. You could feel the sense of relief on the bus driving back. Although we all had a great time, 33 days on a bus is along time and getting off will be a great feeling. We spent most of the time saying our goodbyes. It is such a shame. We’ve made such good friendships in such a short time – only to probably never see these people again. Another round of goodbyes off the bus and Roberta and I head back to the Mansions and it’s million residents.
