Wooly & Patrick get suprise presents (Rucksack,Camera,notebooks) and are told they are going on a mystery trip on a big boat called a Cross Channel Ferry


Bursting with excitement, the pals take their seats on the Ferry and take a 7 hour trip over to France !!


Arriving at Le Havre on the top deck, they drove off the ferry and took it in turns driving a route to Paris, but don't tell the Gendarmes Shhhhhh...


Once at Paris, they booked into a Camponile Hotel and nabbed the top bunk, then hit the town to see the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine...


The next day they drove down the west coast to La Rochelle put up the tent and camped, waking early (Ew !) to visit the old town and beach.....

Spending some time at the old Fort walls.


The next day they moved on to Chataillon Plage to a nice campsite with a Pirate ship and a Pool !!!

Sunbathing with Dad and sitting by the pool relaxing after all the hard driving...

Posing for a pic with Sebastian the Campsites Chef and walking on the local beach...

Play fighting with Patrick in the tent !

Watching Mum cook stew on the new Trangia...


After spending 5 glorious days in Chataillon Plage, the Pals hit the road again & find Lacanau Ocean...

Camped in a Beautiful Pine forest edging the sea, the boys go hunting for pine cones...

.....and prepare an area for the camp fire.

The next day Wooly & Patrick visit the Beach and bathe in the glorious sunshine !

They watch the surfers for a bit and then try and decide whether the swim in the sea or the Pool...

A Very Big Ant !







Ready to hit the road again towards Spain, they decide to let Dad drive as its going through the Pyrenees mountains !
