Today we spent the morning watching the Witsunday exodus from the park. There was a steady stream of motorhomes and caravans going by our spot by the entrance in the park. Yesterday all 496 places in this large park were occupied. This evening there are maybe 125 places occupied.
Our experience in the last week convinced us that we could never enjoy Europe in the summer. Having to book each and every stay would take all of the joy and spontaneity out of traveling. Plus campgrounds teeming with people are not relaxing for us.
We spent most of the day packing for our trip home on Thursday. As usual Ton packed and I stood by to occasionally help hand her things or move heavy bags once they were packed. We are about 90% there and still have a day and a half to go so I have proposed a sojourn to downtown Amsterdam tomorrow. Ton is thinking on it.
How is the heat wave affecting you?
It didn’t impact us until the last two days. I think we may have been east of it until we arrived in Aachen. It’s been hot here but nothing like you guys, yesterday high 82, and today 87. For us after a very cool to cold trip we aren’t going to complain. Are you guys still in the Pyrenees?
Yes, we are still wandering at elevation and cooler temperatures in the Pyrenees. No complaints from us as we love it here for all of its hiking and biking.
Yes, we are still wandering at elevation and cooler low 70 degree temperatures in the Pyrenees. No complaints from us as we love it here for all of its hiking and biking! We still have a few more days to go, too.
