Actually, it is not a question that puzzled me greatly, but I am still interested in it. So, Nicasio – my friend from Spain gave me the answer. Do you want to know it, please, read the following report.
Hello, dear Angel, I have recently returned from a holiday in Marbella on the Costa del Sol. My wife has a fear of flying so we decided to drive. It took us 3 days to get there with one stop over in Bordeaux France, and one stop over in Jaen in Spain. We could easily have done the trip in 2 days with one stop, but on the way back I realised that the trip could actually be completed in 22 hours.
We left Marbella at 5 am and got to Bordeaux at 5 pm. Bordeaux to Calais can easily be done in 8 hours and if you catch the ferry right you can be back in the UK within 22 hours. Obviously, you need a fast car to do this, but we averaged around 70 or 80 Mph and stopped for short fuel and comfort breaks around every 2 to 3 hours.
The ferry crossing for Dover to Calais was very reasonable too, £60 return. Mind you we have had some great deals on ferry crossings in the past as we have taken many holidays in France. We have had prices as low as £17 one way.
I must say, travelling in Europe is a great fun. A friend of mine has a couple of villas in Spain so we stay at one of them in Marbella while in Spain. It certainly beats a holiday in the UK. I am sure we will be off again pretty soon.

Snezhik is a close relative of a Snowman and a Big-foot. It was born in 1997 and occupied the 2nd place in the contest for the holiday symbol of Snezhinsk-city. But, this small funny white creature from snow, turned to be a very popular guy in Russia, so Andrey made cartoons about it and people even made a monument to Snezhik – people adore it. Snezhik is a happy small boy with an irresistable smile. He makes people laugh and their mood definitely goes up. This small boy even has 2 own sites, the 1st one is devoted to Snezhik – his life, adventures and friends. Also, there everybody concerned can find cartoons about Snezhik. And the 2nd one is about Snezhik promotion. Many people want it to be the official symbol of Sochi 2014 Winter Games.
