What a close encounter!!! as I woke up this morning,I couldn't believe that I was camping just next to a policeman 's house as I saw the patrol car parked just about 15 m from my tent. Obviously he must have not noticed my existence when came back from duty , if not I'll be in trouble. Before he wake up ,I better pack early and leave without bothering to cook my breakfast. This was my 2nd time in Calais as I still can remember some of the buildings and roads especially the tall beautiful church with a huge garden full of colourful flowers . One of the best I had seen in Europe. The ride to the ferry port took half an hour just followed the sign "car ferry". Bought a ticket for 17 eur on Seafrance as last time was on P&O. After the British passport control , I was told to wait at Lane 10. What a miserable,silvering 1/2 hr wait under the strong cold wind and shower rain . I was the only one bicycle in queue while others were sitting comfortably inside their cars. The ship with 8 decks included a duty free shop,bar,cafe & restaurant,children playground,money changer and slot machines etc.. One hour crossing to Dover - a place famous for its white cliffs with a castle on the hilltop. Cycled my way to the train station to Charing Cross in Central London,just 5 min walk to the Trafagal Square. Paid a visit to the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board across the road. Met Mr Terrence Muda from Sarawak and Miss Mathilda C. Stanisclas from Taiping. Thanks for the warm reception and helps given to me especially the heartwarming hot coffee and biscuits made by Miss Mathilda.Once again thank you very much. Night falls early in London , I had to rely on streets and cars light for one and a half hour ride to my sister's house in Palmers Green ,north London . Mind you ,It was just 4 pm !!! I was surprised at my photographic memory as I did not made a single navigation error since last year August when I was on my mtb Europe tour. Arrived sister house at 6 pm for a well deserved rest. My sister cooked a delicious dinner of Indian Tandoori Chicken. Feeling on top of the world.
