Today we spent most of the day travelling to our first stop in Germany. We were only 10km from the border at Gulpen but the GPS decided that Belgium was the way to go! The first 80Km of the 10Km was actually through the Ardennes region so it was actually a nicer way to go than the autobahn. Stopped for some weekend shopping near Trier, the oldest town in Germany, before reaching our destination ACSI site in Saarburg. Bought 2 packets of 'Shaun das Schaf' biscuits in the supermarket!
We pitched next to a smart German motorhome with a very friendly retired teacher, his wife and Monty the dog (after Monty Python not Field Marshall Montgomery!) We had a brief but sudden thunder storm that evening with hail that brought down the Germans sun shade with the weight of water. Made even better friends helping him remove the broken support arm and get soaked in the process.
