This time we're off to Germany for our autumn trip. Haven't been (except for the Xmas Markets) since we first got the van and this time we've decided on the Romantische Strasse and Alpenstrasse in Bavaria and then the Black Forest, which should be beautiful this time of year. We've allowed 3 weeks.
We should have left last week but as we were about to make the Chunnel booking, we received an email telling us about one of Brens long-lost relatives in Canada celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary last night (20th). It was made perfectly clear that we weren't going to miss that so everything got put back a few days. Never mind, the weather forecast looks better!
So Bertie is more or less loaded up, just the usual last-minute items to put in, and we'll be away hopefully earlyish tomorrow morning. Rather than stay at Mum's, we visited her for a few days last week so we've decided to head for the aire at Canterbury Park & Ride, it being too much of a rush to do it all in one go. Then it's just a 20min hop to the Chunnel - we'll probably try for an earlier train than the 14.20 we're booked onto. After that we thought we might stop off at Gravelines before taking to the motorways.
But as always, nothing is cast in stone so follow us why not?
