European Trip - Day 3

We left the site in the morning and drove south, stopping for lunch at a picnic area at the side of the motorway. The route took us round the outskirts of Nuremberg and then Munich.

After about 250 miles we arrived at a stellplatz at a private home in the village of Petting, still in Germany. There was one spot left which we took, for a charge of 20 euros including toilets and showers.

After setting up we went for a walk towards the local lake, Waginger See.

It turned out that in the direction we went it was quite hard to get anywhere near the lakeside, so we just really went there and back.

At the site we sat outside with a beer in the sunshine, and later for dinner we had spinach and ricotta pasta with arabiata sauce.

European Trip - Day 2

We made coffee in the room and had it in bed before we got up. On his morning visit to the exercise area Oscar peed and pooed again. He's really getting the hang of this!

The ferry docked in Rotterdam on time. On disembarking we ended up being the very last vehicle off the boat, but we were still through passport control and on the road just after 10am.

We stopped at a service station off the motorway while still in the Netherlands and had some drinks and snacks. A bit further on we stopped at Lidl and loaded up with groceries.

On into Germany we went, eventually stopping at a site in Würzburg after over 350 miles of driving. It calls itself a Stellplatz but seems to be more like a proper camp site. We have a grass pitch with electric hookup included for 17 euros. There are toilets available, and showers for 1 euro.

We walked down to a bar just outside the town that a beer garden.

Later we made fish and chips and mushy peas for dinner.

European Trip - Day 1

We left home about 10am and set off on out trip. After taking the M74, M6, A66 and A1(M) we stopped for a short beak at a service station. We then carried on to Hull where we went to a McDonalds for something to eat.

We arrived at the P&O ferry terminal about 5.30pm and checked in with no issues using Oscar's Belgian Pet Passport for the first time. After a short wait we loaded the van onto the ship and were shown to our cabin.

The ferry departed on time at about 9pm, and we left Oscar in the cabin to go for a pint at the Sky Deck bar.

We had some wine and crisps in the room. Taking Oscar to the pet exercise area he peed and pooed ok, which is better than he's done in the past.
