Wednesday 29th August
We set off for Netherlands. After travelling 600km we arrive in a rustic campsite just over the German border from Rheine. The site is situated near a wood and the buildings have the long sloping roofs typical of this region. The campsite was very quiet; well until we arrived anyway. We did manage to get told off a few times here, by placing the caravan in the wrong place, the boys being too noisy and leaving our car on the pitch and not putting it in the car park! Nevertheless the campsite was idyllic with free-range chickens, a pretty river and attractive bucolic buildings.
Cadan’s birthday descends upon us and we prepare a little party, the boys and I make a cake the day before much to the amusement of the other campers. We have struck up a friendship with a Dutch family who speak very good English and have done much travelling between them. Their son Camile is 5 and joined us for the party. After this we went swimming to round the day off.
