So, just one week to go, I’m putting the finishing touches to the van, getting everything squared away and hopefully not forgetting anything important.

Passport, money, important documents and of course the credit card are all ready to go, health insurance and breakdown cover in place, vans fuelled up and checked over for the 3rd time, but I’m sure something will be forgotten, it always is.
This weekend is to make sure I’m not too rushed for time next Saturday, so I can say farewell to the family and get an early start Sunday morning as the ferry leaves Harwich at 10am.

It may not be the Ritz, but this little space is going to be home for the next 4, or possibly 5 weeks, It will keep me warm, dry and well fed, there’s no need for anything fancy as its the journey thats important, I’ll have the scenery to look at, good music on the stereo, and I’m sure there’s plenty of eating houses on the way. Oh, and I wont mention the beer……
That’s it really, until next week, the first post of the journey will hopefully be Sunday night, I’m not sure how far I’ll get into Germany but the plan is to update on a daily basis each evening.
