Van Adventures. What have you forgotten to take with you and how did you overcome Adversity?!

Don’t ask but I have managed to leave the Country with an empty trolley and Passport. I have realised it when boarding the ferry from Hull to Amsterdam.
 
Heading for Eurocamp in Normandy, two days before departure SWMBO appeared white as a sheet - daughters passport had expired - she was 9 or 10. Furious googling identified it was too late to go to Peterborough for fast track. I found one post of someone doing similar and getting on the ferry so we thought we’d try and blag it at the port, with a plan B of finding somewhere on the south coast.

Anyway, we got there and a phone call made by security, a few stern words and they let us through. As we were so early we were pulled over and thoroughly searched.

This was pre brexit and don’t think it would be possible now. Go check your passport is my advice!

We now have written on our the back page of the calendar who’s passport expires next - its not an experience we want to repeat!

For the duration of the holiday, daughter was known as the ‘illegal immigrant’!
