dover calais ferry 14/12/09

Cheap trip to Calais.

Thought we would take day trip to Calais yesterday as supplies of Wine
ran out. £30 day return was good as far as we were concerned. Got to
Dover and realised Warning Triangle was in the other car.
Travelling Onboard Ferries to France
In the UK, Dover and Portsmouth are amongst the most popular points of
boarding, and these ports run ferries to different international
locations. Calais is one of France's most popular port, and ferries
between Dover and Calais run at very frequent intervals all year
round, even if they are only half full.

I used to live in a house up on a hill in East Kent with a great view
of the English channel and the Dover Calais ferry from my living room
window and you could watch the ferries all the way across to the other
side of the English Channel on a clear day.

ferry from Dover

Ferry from Dover to Calais
Plans for simpler train ticketing in Europe derailed
Until May 2007, it was perfectly possible to buy a through ticket from
London by rail and boat (using the ferry from Dover to Calais) to
points on the continent. Through ticketing by Eurostar to various
points in France and Switzerland.

Dover esplanade gets £2m overhaul: New Start - Latest news for Dover Ferry Port
The esplanade is recognised as an important amenity for Dover
residents and is often the first encounter with the town for many
ferry and cruise passengers. The £2m project to revive the esplanade
is funded by the SeaChange programme.

Ferry in English Channel
A longer ferry crossing can mean fewer miles to drive, which means
less petrol and less stress. If you live in Wales or the West of
England, say it would be silly to drive to Dover if your eventual
destination is southern France.We were ready to roll at the glorious
hour of 5am and gave ourselves plenty of time to head to Dover for our
ferry crossing....but the traffic Gods had other ideas. 20 minutes
into our journey and we were at a standstill for well over half an
hour.

A few miles can make an awful lot of difference to paying for your
retirement - if you live in Dover; you have no choice about buying an
annuity before your 75th birthday because if you don't, you may face a
massive tax penalty. ... Now catch the ferry and 90 minutes later move
in to your new home just a few miles away in Calais. After a while you
will qualify as non-UK resident but you still retain your UK pension
rights. Instead of having a UK pension plan, you transfer.
