we got up early to catch the 9:00am train to honfleur to catch the 2:15pm hydrofoil fast ferry to england. i double and triple checked that i had the pet passport. p had booked 2 adults, one child and a dog. however, when we got to the ferry station we found that they expected us in a car and that a dog was not allowed uncontained on the hydrofoil. we were told that the next slow ferry at 8 would be able to take him. we still imagined that he would be with us on the deck watching the waves and scenery. however, when we did board, maynard was put into a cage at the front of the area which held all the cars. p. had called his dad to inform him that we would be arriving at midnight. his dad was picking us up. we were delayed further when we arrived. we had to wait for all the other people to leave and finally a special car came to pick up “the people with the dog”. we finally met p’s dad. on the drive back the signs were confusing, there was construction and we made a wrong turn. we got stuck on the wrong highway heading the wrong direction with no exit for 20 minutes. it was unfortunate and i felt bad that p’s dad had to be driving us so late. we finally got to the parents home around 1:30am. maynard went into the garden and was obviously very excited by all the new smells. we are sure he could smell bunnies. we were relieved to have arrived.
