- Eurotunnel. Because the ferry operators try to say the Tourneo is a minibus
and charge a fortune, the journey is not weather affected, very smooth and so easy. Also picking
the times and being a shareholder makes crossings cheaper than the ferries.

HotelB+B Hotel in Calais, because I like the breakfast they put on.

- We will arrive at Nordkapp in time to be at the Top of Europe for the
Solstice at midnight, which is 00:00 on 21st June
- The Solstice in 2008 is rather strangely timed as it occurs exactly at
midnight on 20th June, also known as 00:00 on 21st June.
Initially I was confused by the term
"Midnight" and some information I picked up refered to midnight on 21st, when actually it is the
first midnight not the second midnight.
