Chaos saw at the port of Dover saw some Welsh schoolchildren queue for more than 18 hours at border control at the start of the Easter getaway. A group of pupils from Pontypool arrived at the English port of Dover in the early hours of Sunday morning and didn't get on to a ferry until 8pm last night.
When they did eventually get on a ferry it was quiet, but their teacher said the problem was a lack of staff on the border control.
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales from a service station in Frankfurt on Monday morning, Ysgol Gymraeg Gwynllyw teacher Gwyn Rosser said: "We have a lot of tired faces this morning but we made it across the Channel.. It has been a very stressful trip so far. The buses that were meant to take us on Saturday morning cancelled on us so we had to find two other buses. We left Pontypool at 9pm and arrived in Dover about 2am.
