Across Europe to Belgium

So all too soon Borderland was over and we faced the 1500 mile trek back to England.

Again we hurtled over the enormo-bridge:

Bridge!

Bridge! Island!

And back to Germany (where we had a wee)

And finally to a canal just north of Brugges, where we camped for the night.

The next day we noticed an unusual noise coming from the power steering pump. But managed to limp the remaining 500 miles back home...

Borderland

I don't have many photos of Borderland.

However highlights included:

• Swimming in the sea
• Trying to gather the rotting head of a seal
• Watching the burn
• Hey It's You Guys! 
• Finding Narnia
• Standing on the top of the church
• Saturday lightshow

Here's Willow on the effigy:

And so into Denmark

We stopped in Germany for breakfast. Or was it lunch? So much driving...

Bye bye Deutschland...



Hello Danmark!

Plus ca change

Hyowge bridge!

With an island, and a lighthouse.

Back in Europe! Denmark here we come!

So. Back in Europe. Pick up Delilah in Lille and we're off to Denmark! 

Eurostar. Willow. :)

Waiting for the man with the keys to the compound where Delilah is stored, Lille:

Bridge! Bridge!

The Germans have these free camper van campsites all over the place. Very civilised. This is near Munster.

Pyrenees

So we headed up across the Pyrenees, for an overnight in Charente (near Angeloume)

We stopped for lunch in Laruns:

The site at Charente

Moonlight on the river...

Spain! Nowhere!

So the ferry goes along at 25 kts, and there's a 10kt headwind - so Willow is doing a 'dog out of car window' impression in a 40mph gale:

Spain!

Docks!

An hour into the drive to Zaragoza it's baking hot. Willow leaves her feet out... toooo tempting not to bite her toes...

Finally we get on site, and get the canopy up.... looking good....

So dusty!

Nowhere main camp

Ubertown

OK below are some taken with a proper camera:

Weather

And sun!

And more weather

And we're on the way to Europe!

So we set off quite late, due to packing and stuff. But got to Portsmouth around 11pm. Ferry first thing, to Bilbao.

Willow has a coffee free goodness-knows-what-it's-called from Starbucks...

The gateway to Europe...

And all the other campers...

Waiting for the ferry

Our cabin! Excited!

And we're away!
