Tuesday 5 July – Neukirchen Vluyn to Gravelines



Dull, breezy start but at least it'sn not raining (yet) so after the usual back on the road, stopping temporarily when the fruitbowl, which hasn't moved in the last five weeks, decided to jump onto the floor! That cleared up we headed for Holland, only around 45km away on the motorways, stopping again to refill the LPG bottles and the fuel tank.

The roads were very busy as we crossed Holland, only a short distance as we are quite close to where Germany, Holland, Belgium and France are close together. Then into Belgium where it was busier still, especially around Antwerp but at least it moved relatively quickly and we had no holdups.


Finally turning onto the Ostende road, we took a lunch break just after Ghent, deciding we would head to Gravelines, get settled and plan our next moves from there. So that is what we did, discovering a vet within a few minutes walk of the aire de camping-car who we'll go and visit tomorrow. After that we'll rebook the Chunnel and maybe head into Calais for some shopping while waiting the required 24 hours before we can take Jamie back into the UK..
