Hump Day

Today is day 53, which means we are officially half way through our 105 days overseas.

With O-Ringen finished it was time once again to hit the road. We got a nice early start ( in part due to the fact that once again we had inadvertently brought the sour rather than fresh milk with the last of our Swedish Krona so there was no delay having breakfast). Also, after the perfect weather we had for O-Ringen, we woke up to light rain that promised to turn heavy very shortly.

We still had plenty of Danish Kroner left but we had to wait until we had paid the tolls for the two huge bridges before we could use the last of it on food and petrol. We were a bit sad driving through Denmark remembering that the last time we had been over these roads Jessie was with us.

Being the weekend (which we have discovered means minimal trucks on the road) we had expected to make good progress. Unfortunately we travelled in our heaviest traffic to date which made slow going. It was very late in the day when we got to Bremen. We are staying at Camping am Stadtwaldsee (another camp ground by a lake). By anyone's definition this place has 5 star bathroom, cooking and laundry facilities ( I am not just saying that because I have spent the last week using portaloos and showering in a field with hundreds of other women).
