... setting up the tent over the weekend, but didn't get the time. So now we just have to hope we can figure it out when we get to Calais.

So Derek is in the UK, and I am in Germany.
The Landy has had a good service free of charge from Gratech, we are very grateful for that.
Derek is getting stickers and advertising organised, and I am concentrating on the quiz, and making sure we have all the equipment ...

... hört sich toll an und wird es hoffentlich auch. Einen genauen Reiseverlauf gibt es eigentlich noch nicht, aber, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivien, Chile, Brasilien und vielleicht auch Kolumbien stehen ganz oben auf meiner Hitliste.

We arrived in Paderborn around 15.00 or so, and went out to do some shopping for food. We swung by the Post Office to send out some postcards, then we hit the grocery store so I could buy some chocolates and things to bring home with me. The day ...

... together to use as a makeshift bed - Claudia fit on her two seats better than I fit on mine. I couldn't seem to get my entire fat American ass to fit - too many Pappa's Burger hamburgers I guess - but sleep finally occurred. I woke up with ridiculously dry contacts and a right leg that refused to cooperate. Now the fat American has a limp to go along with the sexy and stylish double chin. Great. We were given 20 Euros by ...

It was time to some serious hill climbing.... And my legs did realize we are into it now. The top of the hill seemed to be around the corner, every time I took one.

A three course lunch at noon. 2:30 was tea and cake and 7o clock dinner. It was really wonderful and we had a nice time relaxing on the farm and walking around some of the local sights with Craigs ...
