We have an appointment with Eurotunnel on the 18th July. We've booked a couple of nights at a campsite in Ghent (Belgium) and we're keeping our fingers crossed for decent weather.
Today, we head for Campsite Lake Markkleeberg, a lakeside campsite just south of Leipzig, arriving early afternoon after dropping off our ViaToll box which has been bleeping its way around Poland as it notches up the Zloties on my account.
The 'van needs a bit of tlc on the way but we're here, safe and snug on a rainy day.
Moving on....
Now we're here:
A short walk up the river takes us to this large dam and lock.
There's a great little bistro just around the corner from the site.

Now we're here:
Its Campingpark Essen-Werden and it's great for a two night stay.
Nice little town with Essen itself only 12 minutes away by S-Bhan (suburban train). German public transport systems are great.

Aiming for Ghent in the morning.

Germany > Netherlands > Belgium
(sorry Netherlands, we love your towns, but time is chasing us onwards)
We're here..
The site's part of a sports complex on the outskirts of Ghent... and very nice it is too: great facilities, great pitch, shuttle bus into town - if only I could get the outfit round the sharp corners without three reverses each time it would be perfect. After our recent site experience, though, I can understand why the owners don't want easy access for large caravans.....
Anyway, we're all sorted and looking forward to Ghent tomorrow...
