Crossed the border into Germany

A lovely drive down country roads to eventually cross the border into Germany.

If you weren’t watching Google maps you wouldn’t have realised you had actually driven across the border.

Once we got on the highway we noticed two things, no tolls on the roads like France (cost us an arm and a leg) and signs for the town of Ausfart!!

Man there were a lot of towns called Ausfart and all on the right hand side of the road. None on the overhead signs. Thought…cheez, that must be a really big city. Paul thought the same too!!

Thanks to Translate we finally figured out that it meant exit. Of course we were thinking that this was a cool name for us Aussies. Where Aussies go to Fart!! Dub!!

Anyhow, we pulled in to a campground run by an elderly man. Lots of Germans escaping the heat for the weekend as it’s supposed to be 4 degrees cooler here. Definitely nippy this morning!

We are in the middle of paddocks again and there are RVs all around us. No toilet or shower facilities so only self contained vehicles. Which is good is some ways as there are no children and the campground is Very quiet. Lots of well behaved dogs though.

Wind has been crazy. We had to put the awning away.

Rest day here and we move on further into Germany. We are thinking of driving through Bonn, Cologne, Düsseldorf and then heading up to the Netherlands to see Bard and Hariet.Lue lisää
