1st Sept..Dover – Spa (Belgium)

Off ferry at 2.30 and on road after slight error in Dunkerque. Managed to get well into Belgium and found campsite near Spa, called Spa d'or. Too late to book in but managed to put little tent up just b4 dark. Cafe & bar unfortunately closed Mon and Tues so rustled together a snack and had early night.

2nd Sept.. Spa – St Geo ( Germany, on Rhine)
Both slept well and enjoyed a good shower before heading off to see Spa, which was al lovely town. Found supermarket and had picnic in pretty park. Left about midday and made way to Rhine Valley. Stopped briefly in Koblenz for a pee at the Station before arriving in St Geo about 6pm. Found a nice hotel on the front called Rhinehotel..original eh? Wandered the picturesque streets and found nice Italian restaurant. Had good pasta meal with lovely Heff? beer. Early to bed again.

3rd Sept.. St Geo -
Lovely German breakfast with lovely German welcome by gorgeous young man who enjoyed practising his English on us. Left St Geo by 10am ...on the road again. Long journey with full day of driving. Eventually reached the Alps...and found a campsite by a lake. Very busy but found time for a swim before having a picnic and our champagne. Lovely.
