We begin at Gravesend Pier, aboard the MV Royal Daffodil for a day return, without passports, to Calais. We see the family wandering about the town with its famous clock tower and see blocks of new apartments while shops display prices both in francs and sterling. Returning home we pass the port and see a sunset. Next the Greens are seen visiting Deal where they tour the town and the castle and later a packed beach. We also see Folkestone Lido as well as a funfair and a seaside cafe.
