Day 8 - willkommen in Deutschland

It was a chilly start to the day, 5 degrees! So the heating went on for the first time in a long time.
We packed up and headed off from camp at a leisurely pace. We opted to go the straightest and quickest route to our next campsite, Aumühle (south of Cologne and west of Frankfurt). The drive was pretty straightforward and I didn’t make any wrong turns or exits, so no bonus miles! Once we crossed into Germany, we headed to a supermarket to stock up on all the essentials. Goodbye strong Belgian beers, hello more sensible German beers.
The campsite is fairly small and quiet, it’s dog friendly but I’m not sure how friendly the pet chickens roaming free really are, we will find out in due course!
Dinner tonight was a tomato and mozzarella salad followed by a mushroom pasta ready meal we picked up in Belgium. There wasn’t any instructions so we went with the standard 20 mins at 200, after about 10 mins I went to turn it round and found the container slowly melting away - oops! Maybe it was supposed to go in the microwave, we’ll never know….
A bit of rain this afternoon meant we will save exploring the woodland next to the site for tomorrow.Leggi altro
