      Dunquerke auf deutsch Dünkirchen

      17. oktober 2022, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Wir stehen früh morgens auf und genießen noch die aufgehende Sonne um Fotos zu machen.
      Dann fahren wir weiter und frühstücken unterwegs. Ich kaufe frisches Baguette. Johann fährt dann über Belgien Richtung Frankreich und als Zwischenstopp wählen wir den Ort La Maison du Kanal, wo wir ein wenig entlang gehen und schöne Impressionen sammeln.
      Dort gibt es auch ein sehr gutes Lokal wo wir heute speisen.
      Dann wird das WC entleert, was ein wenig Probleme macht, Johann hat daraufhin gleich seine Hose dem Mistkübel übergeben. Die Schuhe werden wir versuchen zu reinigen.
      Dann kommen wir in Dünkirchen an und gehen auf dem schönen Strand spazieren.
      Wir parken auf dem großen Parkplatz direkt vor dem Museum welches wir gleich morgen früh besichtigen werden

      Unforgettable

      14. august 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Finalmente in Francia. Baguette e croissant come se non ci fosse un domani e le spiagge della Normandia. Cosa volere di più? Magari un campeggio degno di questo nome e non un ammasso di camper uno sopra l’altro? Eh non c’è, malheureusement!
      Claudio mi propone di andare a vedere una sosta camper per dormire in libera, e andiamo! Beh! La sera più bella, il tramonto, i surf, quei macchinini con la vela😂, tempo per non fare niente, solo ammirare e goderne! Anche se le peripezie per fare la pipì non sono mancate 😂
      Ci svegliamo presto per il sole, la gente che passeggia e chiacchiera, ma ok….. e forse per controbilanciare la serata indimenticabile, abbiamo litigato tutta la mattina e parte del pomeriggio.
      Siamo arrivati, stremati ed estremamente nervosi, ad Amiens posto da dove sto scrivendo nella mattina di Ferragosto!
      Stamattina penso alle mancanze, perché oggi è un anno che ho perso la mia nonna e mi manca, cazzo, mi manca tantissimo e poi mancherò nell’essere amica per una persona per me importantissima. Scusami ♥️
      Il viaggio dà, ma anche toglie.
      Oggi direzione Champagne, prossima tappa di questa avventura.
      A domani.
      Sirù: dire che i campeggi francesi sono spartani é estremamente riduttivo. In realtà più che campeggi andrebbero chiamati parcheggi. Sembra di stare da un rivenditore, distanza tra un camper e l’altro massimo due metri. Vabbè, sapevo che scendendo dai paesi dal nord avremmo solo potuto peggiorare, ma non immaginavo così tanto.
      Per fortuna esiste la libera (anche se vietata!!!) e per fortuna ogni tanto ci sono le famose botte di culo. Stare sull’oceano a mangiare, dormire e soprattutto ammirare il tramonto con la tua compagna ed una birra non ha eguali , per tutto il resto c’è Mastercard… 😂
      Certo, se poi la mattina dopo appare improvvisamente un mostro malefico al posto di tua moglie che ti tritura gli zebedei, allora capisci che nei posti magici ci sono anche le streghe cattive… 😂😂😂
      In compenso senza volerlo siamo capitati in una cittadina veramente bella, pulita con una bellissima cattedrale tanto che è patrimonio dell’Unesco.

      Just in Belgium

      4. juni 2023, Belgien ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

      Having delayed departure Switzerland seemed a step too far for this trip. Also Swiss weather not the best at the moment. So got to Calais and turned left stopping just over the Belgian border with sun and wind just like home. No plans other than to go where its sunny.Læs mere

      Therouanne 14 miles

      19. juli 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      After 3 consecutive nights camping I thought I could justify something more comfortable last night. I could have stayed in a monastery but I remember staying there last time and it was very strange. A communal meal with the monks, eaten in compulsory silence, monks round the walls all staring at the pilgrim eating in the centre of the room. And the food wasn’t great.

      This time I went for a nice hotel with a reasonably priced dinner, bed and breakfast. I had booked a special “businessman’s rate” which is the only way it came close to my budget. When I booked it I hadn’t paid much attention to the rules but as it got closer I did begin to worry. The hotel site seemed to be very insistent that the special rate was only available to a solo traveller genuinely travelling “on business”. In my day a businessman would have been expected to turn up wearing a suit and driving a Ford Mondeo. I know times have changed but not sure if a smelly t-shirt and shorts, lugging a rucksack with no car in sight might have made them a little suspicious. If rumbled I was planning to say that I was a writer and I was in the process of writing a book on the via. Only a slight exaggeration.

      Anyway I checked in, ate the dinner (3 course including a bucket of mussels and a nice glass of wine), slept well, did the breakfast proud and went to check out. Got my knuckles gently rapped. Didn’t have the cheek to try the writer nonsense.

      Interesting choice of route for the day. Either the official one, 14 miles wandering about fields and woods or 8 miles by a fairly straight road. Not in any particular hurry and the weather was fine (well only raining a little) so went for the 14 miles. Reducing the chance of being smeared over the road helped the decision making.

      Tonight I am staying in a gite reserved for pilgrims. Can sleep about 14 but it looks like I’m the only one. Bit basic compared to the hotel but they do only charge 25€ so I can possibly overlook the plastic covered mattress. Dinner was a pre-cooked lasagne from a local butcher. Suspect breakfast will be a pain au chocolat from the baker as I pass in the morning. Could be a sparse day for food tomorrow.

      Geschichte und schöne Landschaft

      4. oktober 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Heute Morgen wurden wir mit munterem Geschnatter von den Nachbarsenten geweckt. 🦆 Die kleinen Kollegen haben uns sogar besucht und sind an und unter unserem Camper durchgeschnattert. War ein Lacher am Morgen, als die Chefin vor unserem Heckfenster rumgemeckert hat.

      Daniel hat - man muss beinahe schon sagen "wie gewohnt" - einen Ausflug mit dem 🛴 zum Supermarkt unternommen und uns ein frisches 🥖 besorgt.

      Nach unserem Frühstück und der Camper-Versorgung sind wir dann ins Inland aufgebrochen. Wunderschöne Land- und Feldwege, die erstaunlicherweise Hauptstraßen waren, sind wir entlang gefahren, denn wir Sparbrötchen wollen ja auf Maut verzichten. 😅

      Am Ende sind wir beim "Blockhaus von Éperlecques gelandet. Dem eindrucksvollsten Bunker, den wir je gesehen haben, wenn man es denn so nennen darf. Das Gelände wurde in ein Museum umgewandelt und man durchläuft verschiedene Stationen. Ganze 6000 Zwangsarbeiter verschiedener Nationen wurden damals wortwörtlich angekarrt und haben die Errichtung bewältigt. In einem dieser Waggons haben wir gestanden und es wurden Tonaufnahmen abgespielt, was man von Innen an Außengeräuschen wahrnehmen konnte. Gruselig und erschreckend sind die beiden spontanen Beschreibungen, die ich dafür finde.
      Der Bunker selbst, der für den Start der V Raketen gebaut wurde, wurde dann im letzten Teil des zweiten Weltkriegs halb zerbombt, sodass er zum Glück nie in den aktiven Betrieb ging. Daniel hat sich mal neben die Außenhülle gestellt, damit man die Größenverhältnisse erkennen kann. Einfach verrückt. Alles daran.
      Auf die respektvollste Art und Weise empfehlen wir diesen Besuch jedem weiter. Für das Museum, das sich alle Mühe gibt, um diesen Ort zu verwalten und zu pflegen und für jeden Besucher, der auf eindrucksvollste Weise Informationen jedweder Art aus den sorgfältig gestalteten Infotafeln entnehmen kann.

      Im Anschluss mussten wir erstmal alles sacken lassen und haben uns wieder auf die Straße begeben. Wir brauchten nämlich endlich - fast am Ende unserer Reise - mal einen Wasserschlauch. Natürlich einen zum Zusammenrollen, ist klar. ☝️
      Baumärkte sind hier gar nicht so leicht zu finden. Zumindest nicht über Google Maps. Als wir aber dann in Arques gelandet sind, in dem es jedes Geschäft der Welt zu geben scheint, sind wir im dritten Markt endlich fündig geworden.
      Nachdem wir uns dann mit Händen und Füßen auch noch ein, was die Franzosen hier "Steak" (🙄) nennen, erstanden haben, sind wir nach kurzer Suche zu unserem Standplatz für die Nacht aufgebrochen.

      Nach diesem Abendessen können wir uns nun wirklich Premium-Camper nennen! 🥹

      Wisques 12 miles

      18. juli 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      The toilet saga continues. Last night’s campsite considered that one “bathroom” was sufficient for the entire campsite. One room with a shower, toilet and sink for I don’t know how many campers. Naturally when I went to brush my remaining teeth there were a couple enjoying their evening ablutions including a shower. 30 minutes may not seem long but I would have much rather spent the time inside my sleeping bag than standing outside the toilet.

      I was then kept awake for a couple of hours by some folk talking. After that I was just cold. Not a great night all told.

      Anyway I set off this morning in the sun, stopping off at yesterday’s cafe to see what she could manage for breakfast. Turned out it was orange juice, croissant, pain au chocolat and a coffee. Strangely, I was expected to eat a naked croissant. I know some folk consider that normal but I would expect butter and marmalade or possibly butter and Nutella but most certainly butter. And don’t try that nonsense of croissant is made of butter so you don’t need any more. Realised somewhat late that I should have taken some away with me as there was nothing more to be had until dinner.

      A fine walk, mostly sunny but not too hot, usually between fields although with some short sections of road to add a little spice. Only came across one person all day. A lady using hedge trimmers at the side of the road, outside her house. As I passed her she gave a sudden start and gave me a filthy look. Now it might be she was just surprised at a passerby but also possible she was just startled by catching a wee whiff of pilgrim. I didn’t stay to enquire.

      To give a measure of the sort of day it was, the highlight was passing over the A26 on which one could cover the 150 or so miles from Calais to Reims in under 3 hours by car. I should manage it in a little over 2 weeks and will meander about 235 miles on the way.

      I did take advantage of the solitude by giving voice to my playlist despite my nearest and dearest stating frequently that I can no more sing than walk on water. A good example of one’s memory of music being the last to disappear is that I considered I was pretty word perfect to the double album of the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack albeit a second or two behind.

      Not quite the end 🥲

      5. juli 2023, Frankrig ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

      The last few stops have seemed like a wind down as we get closer to Calais and the long trek home up through the U.K. But today, the day before the crossing, seemed like the end. However here we are 30 mins from Calais at Ganspette Chateau Camping and just a few miles away deep in a forest is Blockhaus d’Eperlecques. A concrete structure built by the Nazis for their V1 and V2 program. The museum grounds with audio is fascinating, and it made for a great last day in mainland Europe - even Suzan enjoyed it. 😉. Defo worth a visit if in the area. Until the next time - signing out of this part of our trip. A few difficult days but in the main it’s been a blast. U.K. here we comeLæs mere

      Watten

      15. oktober 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

      Nachdem wir heute morgen von der Polizei weggeschickt wurden (übernachten ist neuerdings erst ab dem 31.10 erlaubt, letztes Jahr war es noch der 01.10 und wir haben uns das Schild nicht nochmal durchgelesen) sind wir 4 verschiedene Plätze angefahren. Alle haben uns nicht wirklich gefallen also sind wir im Inland gelandet. Hier haben wir einen traumhaften Platz direkt an einem kleinen See gefunden.
      Heute Nacht werden es nur 5 Grad, weswegen Nelly ein Plätzchen in unserem Bett beansprucht hat. Aber so ist es für alle wärmer!

      Wulverdinghe

      25. juni 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      Day 16:
      Distance: 35.52 km (520.81 km)
      Steps: 51,055 (745,371)
      Move time: 8h06 (119h11)
      Spend: £6.01 (£209.66)

      Oye-Plage to Wulverdinghe.

      In spite of loading up on several litres of water to start the day (and quite uncharacteristically so), I found myself quickly rationing my draining supply under the sapping heat of the Pas-de-Calais sun. France practically seems to shut down on Sundays, and I barely saw another soul in any of Gravelines, Bourbourg, or Watten (today's main towns) to help replenish my supply, except in making the early morning pilgrimage to a boulongerie. Regardless, the lack of water taunted me repeatedly and at length, and just as I thought salvation was upon me with the evening appearance of a churchyard tap, it didn't work. Sometimes things just don't go your way, but equally sometimes they do. And shortly after, I found myself exchanging a 'bonsoir' with a friendly local chap. Despite his lack of English and my very limited French, he quickly clocked my situation and eagerly invited me into his house, where, amidst the chaos of his three daughters and two dogs, I was able to refill my bottles. I never even intended to head to a campsite tonight, but following perhaps the most broken (and somehow yet wholesome) conversation possibly ever, the whole family accompanied me to out to this delightfully cheap spot, where I have even been able to wash my suncream-stained shorts (and let's hope nobody steals them in the night while drying, because they are literally my only pair. Otherwise it could well be underwear all the way to Istanbul.)Læs mere
