Stranded in France

So we.ve been on the road for 12 hours with a few stops en route to Spain. It's persisted it down every bit of day till we got to Dover. Crossed on the Ferry to Calais now somewhere in France and it's persisting it down here too.

Guess what?

The coach has broken down and we are stranded till we get rescued by another coach .

How exciting......*sigh*

Fill in the blank "we re all going on a ..............holiday"

Haha so now the heavens have just opened up!

Oh well keep positive Bev, she says through gritted teef.

Why am I not surprised?

Oh dear LQ it sounds like my worst nightmare being stuck on a coach with a lot of people.
Try to think positive thoughts until you are rescued .

Hope you are on the way again soon..

Oh dear, what a way to start a holiday

Not exactly what you had planned LQ

I hope you don't have to wait too long for your replacement coach...

Re: Stranded in France

Thanks all

It's not mended yet, it's been 2 hours, glad it's a coach breakdown and not a plane breakdown lol.

We are fine, taking it in our stride, no point stressing over it really, it will be sorted soon and we LL be on our way hopefully. It is a burst water pipe , fella on with it now.

We are in Choques, France, on our way to Salou, Spain. Sleeping on coach.

Coach trips abroad aren't for everyone but it doesn't bother us, we enjoy them.

Re: Stranded in France

Just think Lion Queen, you would have just been going down for your evening meal now or sitting in the bar with an exotic drink had you flown.....I'm afraid it would have been a no brainer for me.....About two hours as opposed to ....24 hours....
