Day One

An early start and yet another full english breakfast and we were off to the chunnel... Departure time 8.20 and away we went.    35 minutes later we arrived in France and so did the rain... On the road to Antwerpen and two fuel stops to ensure that we have a break.

Other than Nigel having a slight disagreement the Gertie Garmin, which resulted in a brief diversion through Eidehoven, all went to plan and we arrived at the camp site at about 4.30pm. So following a brisk walk to the local Lidl shop - what happened next was amazing... Steve bought fresh vegtables, meat and prepared Beef caserole with carrots and suet dumplings and mash potatoes !!! and a glass or two or Cabernet Sauvignon to wash it down with - So much better that Nigel's promised Army Compo rations (boil in a bag!!!) Well done Steve and Brian

The site a wonderful showers and now we are sitting around a box of biscuits and hot coffee before turning in for the night... whilst Steve and Brian discuss the menu for tomorrow night - it's like travelling with Floyd and Jamie Oliver

It is now 9.30pm    Nite Nite
