The last leg

14 June 2009

The weather took a turn for the worse overnight and we woke to heavy rain. Undeterred we went back into Bruges and had breakfast at a very pleasant café recommended by Dorotee.

We eventually got away to drive the last 100k to Calais. Unfortunately we were a few minutes late to catch our booked ferry but only had to wait 45 minutes for the next one. A smooth crossing was followed by the drive home where we arrived in mid afternoon to complete 3,700 miles and another superb odyssey.

The abiding memories will probably be the many towns and cities we visited which have had their historic centres faithfully restored following the war damage, all the beautiful rivers, hills and mountains in Germany and the friendliness of the people, particularly our fellow motorhomers.
