• Shepherdswell to Calais via Dover
• 16 km to yesterday
• 13 km today
• 29 km on Via Francigena 

The previous day, using maps on my tablet I see urban sprawl for the dozen or so km to Dover.  And, without definitive signage, a lot of energy spent in way finding.

I decide to take the train that runs through the village on to Dover.  I walk around the town and hope to return some other time.  At the port I can buy a walk on ticket for a ferry leaving in about an hour.  The journey across is uneventful and we arrive mid afternoon.

Walking from the ferry into the centre of Calais is uneventful.  I find a hotel for the night and check out the large nearby church and the town centre.

And so to bed.
