They caught the 5 O'clock Crown Ferry. Nothing like grand child running and throwing their arm around you. Oh what a feeling! Curtsey met them and they got their Ford explore with two car seats. I road with them and stayed in car with the boys why they stopped for groceries

I took them over Bordeaux mountain road. First mistake it was dark and I had trouble finding driveway and missed itFound it on THIRD try. We arrived at Le Mur and it was my night to cook. I made sausage and potatoes on grill.

Keith and Kate missed 7 o’clock ferry by 1minute, Bo worries had a drink and caught 8 o'clock ferry. Jim and Brett picked them up and the got to Villa after 9.

Travel day is long and tiring. We decided to start later.
