The last time I posted we were at Emmerich am Rhein, at the Marina. 3 very hot nights there, relaxing back into Germany and then we moved 5 miles up the road to Hoch Elten. We know a free Stellplatz there and fortunately there was plenty room for us..
Set up at Hoch Elten
One night staying at Hoch Elten and we made a return visit to a really lovely Italian restaurant in the town- Pizzeria Sugo. I ordered a 250ml carafe of wine, when a 500ml was delivered-it looked huge, manners dictated that I send it back. What lone drinker could possibly manage 500ml on her own? So I sent it back. Beforew that the replacemet 250ml didn't touch the sides, a refill was ordered straight away. Who'd have thought 250ml would look so tiny and disappear so quickly?????
Next day, we headed south to meet up with Jon and Linda. Our great motorhoming friends based in Norfolk. Except, obviously, they're in Germany at the moment. The baking hot weather had broken, with more seasonal highs in the late 60's and 70's. We met them at a very quiet stellplatz in Aldekerken. 3 nights partying, cycling and a matinee movie thrown in when the wet weather really closed in.

The boys head off for supplies-its time for a movie matinee.
After 3 nights we said our farewells to Jon and Linda and headed further South to see Mike's son Lee and his family. Based for the next few hours at Monchengladbach in Germany. With only 14 families left on the entire base it's something of a ghost town. To think it used to be the Joint Headquarters for the entire armed forces in Germany. Times change and time to move on. They leave on Wednesday and so will we. Where to? Who knows? Watch this space.
