    So you want to go to France using the Eurotunnel...? Recently I spotted a cheap deal on the Internet to take a car to France on the Eurotunnel; it cost me £29, for the car and two passengers. I thought this price sounded rather good and decided I would book it there and then. That's the real reason I wanted to try out the Eurotunnel, I'm always a sucker for a bargain! Let me tell you about it... ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º° THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CHANNEL TUNNEL AND THE EUROTUNNEL °º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø I was a little confused because the Channel Tunnel and the Eurotunnel sound like much the same thing to ... more

    Thinking of taking the car over to Europe? Can't face the prospect of sitting for hours on a pitching and rolling ferry while being charged the earth to have a meal of average quality? Are you like me, do you go green round the gills as soon as a force three breeze blows it's way on to the high seas? Then Eurotunnel is the one for you. What is Eurotunnel? Well, it's the train service that runs between Folkestone and Calais through the Channel Tunnel carrying motor vehicles. It takes thirty-five minutes to make the crossing, runs twice an hour during the day and two hourly at night. Why ... more

    So I’m going to Germany, what is the best way to get there? Well I needed to carry quite a lot of bits and pieces with me, I am working is a long way from an airport, so the best option is to take the car. ** What is it ** Eurotunnel is the channel tunnel crossing. It is a train which runs from just outside Folkestone in Kent, to just outside Coquelles, just outside Calais in France. The train is basically a car and lorry transporter. You drive on in England, and drive off in France (or vice versa) sounds so simple!! There are two types of trains, one to take the lorries, and one to take the ... more

    For my man's birthday I decided to treat him to a trip to France. Originally I had planned to go by ferry as I thought it would be cheaper. Now, I'm a teacher and his birthday fell on Easter weekend so we were pretty much stuck in "peak" time. The Easter weekend was rulled out due to family commitments etc so I put it off until a week later, on the Saturday. As I said already the ferry was my first idea as I thought "heck for the two of us it's bound to be cheap!" How wrong could I be! I tried every website known to man up to two months in advance of booking and the cheapest I could get it for ... more
