When we last saw Lutz, 5th February, he offered an open-ended invitation to visit with him at his home in Oranienburg near Berlin.
I contacted him to see if he was around this week and if the invitation still stood.
He confirmed that,although he was busy, he was and we decided to make the 600km detour over to his to stay a few days.
Thursday morning we set an alarm, a rare event these days, locked the caravan, and set off for Dunkirk for the 10am ferry to Dover for what turned out to be a hectic week!
We were due to attend the wedding of good friends Ray & Denise on Saturday in Wokingham. My brother Steve was coming over to caravan sit.
We planned to visit with as many relatives as possible and do some shopping for stuff we have been unable to find enroute. We were also collecting our new Thule Omnistor canopy that Kim had purchased online as well.
We realised today that we have been more than a little remiss with the blog the last 10 days or so. This has been because we have either been travelling, heading north, or enjoying some good old fashioned doing nothing whilst taking in the sun.
We needed to make progress north to attend a wedding on the 30th, and we still want to visit Scandinavia this summer.
