ENGLAND 

AUGUST 2006

August 19th - 27th - Bryanston

This was our big trip to England for two weeks.  It was primarily for Aidan to attend a 1 week Suzuki convention held at Byanston, which is a boarding school in the South West of England, in Dorset.

Drove to Calais in France and put the car on the Channel Tunnel train.  Weird experience sitting in the car for the 20 minute trip under the water.  The arch is the entrance to Bryanston school and this was our room for the week!
