And back to reality

Well, here it is, our last day in Europe. The sun is shining and we're at the beach, and a lovely beach it is too. White sand, a good mile long, with cafes, restaurants, etc. Very shallow water though. We've run out of gas to cook with and to keep the fridge cold when we are stopped, and internet for the next week at least.

But all good things come to an end eventually and ours ends with a ferry ride.

Can't resist one more bunker. HoH was a German fortress position to guard the entrance to Rotterdam port and the river/canal system. This is one of the few remaining emplacements. (In this case a flak position.)

At least the ferry had internet, though you had to log in every 20 minutes.

Rather a smoggy welcome to the UK

We drove in the dark again to a campsite in the middle of nowhere. Check-in was closed of course, but we saw a few caravans and motorhomes sprinkled around the field so just stopped and plugged in for the night. It was actually a beautifully clear sky: J spotted a meteorite and then two satellites and you could actually make out the milky way. Most unusual for the UK in our experience.
