Day 2 - Dover - Calais - Arras

Woke up early and ready for our ferry to Calais. We were so surprised on how big the ferry is and how much cool facilities they have there. Game room - we obviously had to try it. Overall very enjoyable ride.
When we arrived in Calais, we went straight to Arras, except for a quick stop in roadside aire for lunch, which Fabio cooked when we were still at home. I am so thankful for that, as it's so nice to have something ready to eat when we travel.
After few hours drive we arrived in Arras. Seemed like a very quiet town, until we found the main town squares, where all the people were gathering for France - Switzerland game. 
It was a big surprise when we realized that nothing is open at 14.30. Not even one shop. But then again it was Sunday. We only found one gas station which had a small shop, which didn't have much in it, but at least we got some water. 
After dinner we went for a beer in town and tried a little beer tasting. 
Not much to say about Arras, as pretty much everything was closed, but we still enjoyed the day with warmer weather and lesser troubles. :)
