Walked 50 minutes to get to the main road going out of Canterbury.

Started hitchhiking at 9:15 am. Got picked up after 20 minutes.

Got dropped off at a petrol station at 9:50 am. Got picked up from there after 40 minutes.

Got dropped off at Dover at about 10:50 am.

Spent one hour trying to get a lift on to the ferry, then took a break, then started trying again at 12:15 pm.

Got picked up at 12:25 by a guy who took us to the ferry terminal (and afterwards on to the ferry).

Had to wait a while at the ferry terminal, because the ferry didn't leave until 2:50 pm (it was supposed to leave at 2).

The ferry took about 2 hours and arrived in Dunkirk at 5:45 pm (French time).

Got back into the car with the same driver, who took us all the way to Dunkirk centre.

Arrived in Dunkirk centre at about 6:30 pm, right next to our Couchsurfing host's house.
