Kevnjan's big adventure.

Sat. 28th. Apr. Wurtzburg was gorgeous, an attractive medieval town with striking old buildings and bags of charm and character. We visited the town hall where there was a display showing the disastrous effects of the allied bombing at the end of the 2nd world war in April, 1945. It is astonishing that the town has been restored to such a high standard and it’s to be hoped that nothing like it ever happens again. We visited the library where we were able to get free Wifi and managed to get some online stuff done. Reluctantly we had to move on in the afternoon as we still had much driving to do. The biggest disappointment has been the German weather. We hoped to see more sunshine, but it wasn’t to be, nevertheless we have really enjoyed our brief acquaintance with Germany and will be back for more I think. On Thursday night we stayed on an aire on the autobahn and slept surprisingly well. Friday was a travelling day. We started around 8.30am and with a couple of breaks for coffee, lunch and a stretch did some comfortable miles. By around 5pm we parked up, again on an aire, this time in Belgium having put behind us around 450Ks. We’d made a decision to get to an ACSI site at Guiens, about a 40 minute drive from Calais, on Saturday and get some washing and cleaning done before crossing the channel. The day dawned grey and misty after a wet night and we drove the 230 Ks. in miserable conditions. Still, we’re here now, it’s pouring with rain and the pitch is muddy but we’re warm and comfortable and after moving to another pitch, have TV. Just watched Saints secure promotion to Premiership, so well done them. Just hope Villa hang on to be there with them next season. So there it is, Calais is within reach and the English weather has crossed the channel to welcome us. Happy days.
