The control of passengers needs to be addressed, it is shocking how young unsupervised adults can just run riot disrupting everyone's trip and causing stress. I had to drive for a few hours when we arrived in Dover and I was so stressed from the crossing I had to sit in my car in a lay by for an hour just to compose myself to drive.
Great trip!
