18th May 2009 - Cristal d'Arques, glass experiences....

En route to Arques a large stone was thrown up by an oncoming lorry hitting the front of our motorhome - hard! By the time we could stop and check for damage a large crater in the base of the wndscreen had started to crack upwards - bugger!

We visited Crystal d’Arques and managed to get three items for 3.50 euro in the huge outlet they have there before moving onto La Touquet for the night – well what is there to say? A very efficient and well placed Aire for the ports of Calais and Boulogne.

Expensive by comparison to our recent stops, this Aire is set on the side of a very upmarket seaside town, so posh in fact, that we even saw an Afghan hound! The beach is in easy walking distance so we took a leg stretch before settling down before our ferry the next day and a house with a much needed and very overdue shower!
