Now I didn't set out on this month long trip of the Baltics looking for love, in fact I was more interested in abandoned Soviet era military sites but you can never say never and the female of the species up in this part of the world is particualrly beautiful.
Anyway, I'm rambling already....
I needed a site for services so had a look on CC and a nice little site popped up close to where I want to be tomorrow. I pulled in about midday and the nice owner showed me the services and took me down by foot to where I could park. During the small talk he had asked if I was travelling alone and when I replied yes he thought it was funny as the only other person on the campsite was a young German lady who was also alone.
We passed the Fraulein who was in a hippy-esque PVC with her 2 dogs outside. She was sitting enjoying the sunshine, her lovely dress flowing gently in the breeze. I couldn't help but notice she was exactly my type. A quick "Guten tag, wie gehts?" would suffice for now - she must have been impressed with my impeccable German!.... plenty time to chat later. Maybe at dusk around the firepit that was between where she was and where I was to park? How romantic that would be!
So she's European, a dog lover, around my age and not only a travel lover but a solo van-lifer like myself. Surely?
I have now parked up and set up the seat on my pitch. I've sat down with a book just as she is passing. Play it cool I thought, just a passing remark on her lovely dogs will do for now.
Literally 30 seconds has passed when I can hear her engine start up and I see her heading out of the campsite never to be seen again (probably).
Auf wiedersehn meine liebe
