Stage 4 Monday 22 Sept: Wissant to Guines (23km/14.3m)
We caught a bus back to Wissant this morning, and then headed off for Guînes. A stunning morning walk with spectacular views turned drizzly, cold and miserable for most of the afternoon… hence not many pm photos.
Washing hung out before we left for the dayRoute direction ➡️; our direction ➡️Street art in Calais (missed from yesterday’s blog)Seen as we walked to the bus station attached to Gare Calais Ville. The plaque states: “Symbol of Franco-American friendship, United States Ambassador to France 1785 – 1789; 38th President of the US 1801 – 1809”Seen from the bus just past the ENORMOUS Cité Europe Shopping Center.
