Saturday 10th August 2013 – On Our Way

Well we are on our way. The car is packed to the hilt but we just about got everything in. It was funny waving goodbye to Megan and Shadow and knowing that they couldn’t terrorise me until we get back. We spent last night in a hotel with my Mistress and her nephew. Today the fun really starts as we meet up with my Mistress’s friend and start to make our way to the coast. I can’t promise that I shall be able to write to tell you what’s happening every day, although you know I’ll try. It’s just that getting an internet connection may not be all that straightforward. My Mistress has bought a thing called a dongle which she says I can share, but she is uncertain if it’s going to work until we get there. As with all technology the gulf between theory and practice can be all the difference it needs not to work!

It won’t be quite so cramped in the car today as I think My Mistress’s friend is going to take some of the stuff in her car. If all goes to plan we shall arrive at the boat at about 3pm Belgian time and then get to the exciting point of bagging cabins. Ari is fed up as I’ve said I want to be with our Mistress and although he wanted to as well he’s agreed that I can. He’s going to sleep with Andy, but has been told he isn’t allowed to get up quite as early as usual and absolutely mustn’t start the day by licking Andy’s face. Unfortunately, Andy did not have the foresight to say Ari mustn’t jump on him either!

The plan is that Ari and I will help with the unloading while my Mistress and her friend go in search of a supermarket to buy lots of exciting goodies. I hope they find some of my favourite marzipan.
