were up at 4.30 this morning and were meant to catch the 8:00 Norfolk
Line ferry from Dover. There are big queues into Dover port (roadwork
signs, queues, no sign of the actual roadworks!) and then lorry
jamming confusion surrounding Seafrance cancelling all their ferries
due to strike action, resulting in a ton of Seafrance customer lorries
with nowhere to go and nothing to do but jam up the port - we, and
other cars, missed our ferry. I've always liked Norfolkline, they
were helpful and moved us to the 10:00 ferry free of charge. So glad
we did not book with Seafrance, or P&O (whose 6.35 ferry has still not
left yet(!). All we have to do now is sit here and wait. Dover is in a
bit of a mess this morning.
