I was only going to be in Calais for a few hours but I thought having some Euros would be useful so I only changed up a few pounds at the Bureau De Change. There was no commission to pay and I didn’t have to queue so it was much easier using the one on the ferry than using one back in the UK.

Ideally situated next to the Bureau De Change was the P&O Ferries Guest Services desk, so I asked how long we had until the ferry got to Calais to see if I could fit anything else in. The journey was about to end though as we were just entering the port in France, and by a handy coincidence the exit from the ferry for on-foot passengers was directly next to the Guest Services desk.

So I waited for the ferry to dock, exited the ferry and stepped foot on French land. Hello Calais!
