Calais is a town in northern France. It has a population of over 125,000.
Calais overlooks the Strait of Dover, the narrowest point in the English Channel, which is only 34 km (21 miles) wide here, and is the closest French town to the United Kingdom. The white cliffs of Dover can easily be seen on a clear day. The old part of the town, Calais proper (or Calais-Nord), is situated on an artificial island surrounded by canals and harbours. The modern part of the town, St-Pierre, lies to the south and southeast.

So after hitching to Calais from Brussels and having to spend the night sleeping on the floor at the ferry terminal, I get ready to catch the first boat in the morning to Dover and what do I know, rather than just walking through as is the normal immigration procedure in my experience, I end up being inter(viewed)rogated and three hours after my initial approach to the passport control they decide that I actually can enter the Kingdom of Unitedness, but only for six days, if I'm not out by Tu...

As mentioned, Calais is more or less a ghost town. It's a port city, and a travel hub, but that isn't as exciting as it sounds. You don't get an overwhelming sense of France like you do in, say, Paris, but if you're not expecting much it can be a pleasant place to spend a day.

Versailles is quite close so we are there in no time at all. For once parking is easy in the huge cobbled square in front of the palace. We choose our passes for the places we want to visit in the palace and gardens and begin the tour. An audio tour seems to be the best bet as our knowledge of this history is not big. So large are the grounds that they have golf buggies and a small train to take you around the formal settings. The forests encircle all o...
