Le tour begins


Well we are here safely in Frankfurt after a marathon plane journey via Dubai. My travel partner - Anthony Dean and I managed to stay sane, and relatively fit after the two flights.

Perth to Dubai was 11.5 hours on a seat designed by Boral Concrete - mmmm very comfy. Kept sane by a huge selection of entertainment and crying children. By the end I must have been flagging as I found Dodgeball hilarious!

Dubai was hot - 40+ and humid - Ahhh - glad we were just passing thru. Dubai - frankfurt was good with few people on the flight I stretched out over four seats and had a kip.

Last night stayed at an airport hotel and caught up on sleep. Last nights meal was an interesting intro to Germany. A German italian resturaunt - we went for pizza and I had a very novel number incorporating boiled egg, frozen peas and small sausage - Yum yum.

Got to go now and pick up the camper then off on a 1200km drive to the south of France!

Will post again soon with some pics.

Love to all

Rod and Anthony
