enfin la France!

We are now at a great "Stellplatz" (German word, there is no English word, but the Danes call it QuickStop - for RV:s only, very simple camping, quite often smack in the middle of a town, or in someones's back yard. Sometimes with electricity, water etc, sometimes w/o any kind of service - but since we're travelling with our home, who cares?) in the French town of Mouzon, quite close to the borders to Belgioum and Luxembourg. Here we only paid Euro 8:40 including electricity, water, WC and shower. Who could ask for more?

Not so hot today, a bit hazy, which made travelling so much easier. Ivan always travels on my lap, and when the sun shines through the wind shield he is VERY uncomfortable. I actually spray him with water all the time, and yesterday I fanned him constantly for several hours that's how hot it was.

Filling up gas in Germany is sometimes a bit troublesome since ordinary credit cards don't always work there. Cash is still king in many European countries! It turned out it's even more difficult in France. We couldn't even figure out how to work the darn machine, so ended up having to pre-pay (cash, not credit card) at the cashier. Incredibly cumbersome, that's one chain of gas stations (Totale) we won't visit again.

Finally some photos! It was latish when we came here, and even later when we took our after-dinner-walk, so the place looks a bit dark and very empty - but believe me, it's lovely!

Tomorrow it's on to a Stellplatz/QuickStop in Rouen, and the day after tomorrow it's Nantes and the Loire Valley.
