In this series we head off to the land of milk and honey - or more well known as Spain.
This episode sees us traveling from New Haven to Dieppe via the ferry. We stay overnight for free in the car park at New Haven to catch the early ferry across to Dieppe.
As it was an early crossing we landed and disembarked in France and headed down south. We had anticipated at staying overnight at Chartres but we were not too happy with the free spot and as the roads had been quiet and the sun was shining we carried on further.
We actually stayed at the camping car park aire at Chateaudun and had a quick look around the town. We were unable to find any shops but the Chateau was very large and impressive. We had a quiet night sleep and had EHU which was good for the heating overnight as temperatures were low.

The roads have been really good to drive (apart from around Bordeaux) and the weather sunny with blue skies but very cold.
Next week we travel through the North of Spain heading South to the Costa del Sol.
