Well we finally made it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But willit be worth it? At the moment feeling a little depressed and disillusioned. The last tour of Europe in Sept/Oct 2012 consisted of 3 weeks of non stop rain. This years 8 week tour is carrying on where we left off; it has rained non stop for this our first week, add to that I managed to bump the Beast on a low level granite boulder whilst trying to turn around to avoid a low bridge. Things could have been worse the front tow hitch took the full impact so apart from a cracked front spoiler and a bent tow hitch there is no real damage.
I am sure things will look better when the sun shines. As the songs says, "The suns coming out tomorrow"
We have been in Germany for the last week and although it could not be described as tourist friendly we have found the people most helpful especially as we have only about a dozen words of German. In desperation trying to find a stellplatz near Koln we have found a muddy campsite, overlooking a river, offering inclusive wifi, water on emplacement and electicity for 15 euro pn, only down side its on the flight path to Koln airport but at 10.oo pm the planes stop flying ( Belay that - no they don't! Just got buzzed by a jumbo jet) so will not be a problem tonight. If weather improves we shall stay a couple of nights if not we shall set off in the direction of Bonn.
Will try and set up a blog if I can manage some encouraging pics but other wise will keep updating thread.
Happy hols to all funsters
