Day 1: Norwich to Folkestone

This is the really boring bit!   We left Norwich after lunch and drove to Folkestone.   The traffic was not too bad and we found the Holiday Inn in Folkestone without too much bother.   The room was clean and had all the essentials.   The menu in the 'restaurant' wasn't too great and the fish pie was a bit 'school dinners' but it was hot food and tasted OK.   We were surrounded by people on a package holiday - all very friendly, being northerners, and rushing round introducing themselves to each other. We buried our heads in the crossword and ignored the jollity (being southerners!).    And so to bed.  An early night in anticipation of a very early start.
