Dilemma ... :o

[Stephanie]

Oi , I'm in Southern France , was going to drive today North , eventually to Calais for the Tunnel , but BUT !!

It's raining sideways here !!

Dunno what to do -- car still needs a bit of loading (last minute stuff) , but can't even see it's raining so hard !

And that'd be alright I suppose.

But !!! It being the Continent , and me driving my Irish jeep , on the highway I have to get out at every single fumbling

tollbooth , walk around the car to collect or to pay for the ticket. There's about 20 between here and Paris alone ,

and then still two hours North to Calais. (I'm about 800km out ) .

I don't really fancy that idea. Plus , the leather seats'd be ruined !

Car will be soaked , never mind me ! The leather seats !! and my sunny disposition !!!

What to do ??

Will I stay on , extend my stay , wait for better weather ? Maybe tomorrow ? Day after ?

Don't fancy the unsought harsh conditions

Is there a 'toll-pay-tag' (electronic tag thingie for paying tolls) I could get ? Please ? xx
