Day two we rode our bikes to the train station and got the train to Rensburg so we could go round the loop and over the high bridge.
Which we did...

It was enormous, we walked around the grounds and I have added lots of art to yesterdays photo link



it always looks odd when people are on VR

We have looked at a car staying in hotels, or using our tent or buying a campervan or a motorhome. We looked at every option and went to two camper/motorhome shows. what we  found was that P is too tall to see out the windscreen and too long for the beds...... Until we came across the Hymer, the bed is always made up and drops down from above the drivers seats and the view from the windscreen is panoramic. It looks big but is only 6m long so the same as a long wheel base van and doesn't add extra cost for ferries and the chunnel. It had th...
