    We have made it to Germany but not totally without incident. Sara woke up at about 5 this morning feeling very sick and has basically been pretty poorly ever since (*). Not sure why given that we have eaten exactly the same food over the last few days.

    Anyway, hopefully she will feel better tomorrow.

    So, another day of driving. About 4 hours including a 7km tunnel to get us close to the border between France and Germany. Followed by a quick cycle ride (just Andy) to test out the new bike.

    Lovely campsite, including decent looking bar/restaurant, which hopefully we will make more use of tomorrow. We are also planning a bike ride if the weather isn't too bad. It's been pretty decent this afternoon but think more rain showers are forecast for tomorrow.

    We are within sight of the Alps.

    We've been looking for a parkrun/campsite combo for Saturday but not sure if it's going to happen. There are parkruns in Germany but we need one close enough to a campsite that we can cycle to it.

    (*) Sara hasn't been able to get warm all day and says she wishes we'd brought a hot water bottle!!!
