Going to a supermarket when you first get to a country is always fun isn't it 🤣

Brace put our awning up for the first time 🥳

So nice to have it up 😊

After being well and truly woken up by next door's cockadoodledoofus... We went out for our first awning breakfast.

The place we are parked up at (a council carpark with designated campervan spaces) is the car park to an amazing place.

Staying on a local Asparagus Farm
July 11, 2022 in the Netherlands ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Best spot ever for Lennon, who can play out on the grass by the van. We are on a small field reserved for campers, at the edge of an asparagus farm.
They're not in season, so instead we've had some ofRead more
Lennon's first sand
July 12, 2022 in the Netherlands ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
There was a little play area at the farm. Lennon loved chasing spiders in the sand pit 😂
Bizarrely he didn't put any sand in his mouth at all! We expected sandy nappies for days actually 🤣

Germany

I missed the Germany sign on the motorway. But we are here 🇩🇪🥳
Camped by a sports complex, and a huuuuge wood. Unlike most woods we find, it was completely un signposted which was a niceRead more
Harpstedt - Germany
July 13, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
We stayed in a very nice part of Germany, the houses were huge and posh, almost like gingerbread houses, so posh and well guarded by fierce dogs I didn't really feel like I could take pictures 😂Read more

Lennon is Lemony
July 14, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Not quite sure where our happy little smiler has gone... He has become very bitey, hitty, nippy, screamy, grunty and above all else he is constantly pulling evil faces 🤣
He is definitely sour LemonRead more

I'd spent hours looking for "the perfect spot" somewhere we could spend my birthday evening, and stay comfortably until Sunday... Finding somewhere to suit all our needs, that is free and lovely andRead more
Accidental Sunset

The silver lining of being moved along by police and having to find somewhere late and last minute, was we finally saw a sunset 🤣 (a drive by one to be specific so these photos are from the vanRead more
Hard Play
July 16, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Took him to another play gym. They are totally different here, all hand made and decorated, mainly wood and harder stuff. So different to the standard play gyms you see all over the UK.
Hard to get aRead more
Laundry Day

Hamburg Town Hall

Second biggest city in Germany, and almost everything was closed. It was a ghost town until around 10am and wasn't busy then either.
Odd at first, but nice really. It's a shame all countries don'tRead more
Binnenalster - Hamburg
July 17, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Our few hours spare to explore Hamburg was taken hostage by screaming Lennon so we spent most our time trying to get him to sleep in the pram. Which he didn't.
The architecture is very interesting inRead more

Chocolate Factory Tour

A belated birthday celebration we went on a tour of the chocolate factory. It was ok. Not as interesting as Cadbury Land, but nicer chocolate and a funny guide called Em.
Elbphilharmonie Hamburg
July 17, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Our chocolate factory tour guide very firmly suggested we go to the opera house, so we did. You can go up to the top, and there is a full 360° balcony so you see all of Hamburg from above.
