We’ve all arrived at the beautiful Chateau Tilques and it is the most stunning evening. Just a perfect start to the tour. Most people have spent the last few hours on the terrce or in the garden enjoying their first French beers. The first day has not been without its problems however. Lex and Donna Bernstein, who’ve shipped their car over from Idaho, broke down about 40 miles from Dover with fuel pump problems. But they caught a later ferry and our trusty mechanics have fitted a new pump, so all sorted.
