Homeward bound - 23rd/24th August

We packed camp and were on the road for 8.25 am for a solid days driving. 12 hours and over 1,000 kilometers later we were flaked out the Aachen Ibis, on the German/Belgian border and made a dent in the cheap 1.5 litres of Italian vino russo.

Less than 300 kilometers to go for the final leg to Dunkerque, unfortunately this took 4 hours thanks to two bad tail backs and a closed motorway junction where the bikers European Tuffmap and the sat nav helped guide us round. In it's favour Belgium had the cheapest LPG of the trip at 47 cents a litre, when it ranged from 55 to 75 cents normally (currently 54p in the UK).

The delay in driving meant we caught the 2pm crossing, which got us home 20 minutes after the kennels shut. Arse! Still, we had plenty to do including harvest the garden.
It's great to be home.
