Our test weekend with the Hymer (1)

Day 1, March 5 - 2010

As we posted previously; we were very much looking forward testing our Hymer Camper over the weekend, starting Friday March 5.

The weather forecast for northern Holland was terrible: snow, rain, you name it. We decided to go to northern Germany. Our weather wasn’t necessarily theirs!
But to our surprise early morning, there was only a little, very little snow so we left at 11.45.

We travelled via Lauwersoog, Groningen, Delfzijl and direction Oldenburg to Norddeich. We left the main road, the A7 appr. 60 km before Oldenburg to arrive in Nordeich at 16.30. Close to Delfzijl it started snowing and at the end of the afternoon it also began storming!

We parked the Camper at a very quiet spot at the harbour (harbours are Tjep’s favourites), but had to park it the other way round because the wind blew soon straight into the heater.
Than we settled down, the dogs (Frits doesn’t enjoy a driving Camper too much) explored their new temporary home and fell asleep soon.
After our first tasty dinner on board, we did a bit of reading, crosswords and chatting, how relaxing this was!

We walked the dogs en to our surprise it was raining, all snow was gone.
Nearly soaked we arrived back “home”. The weather became truly terrible and we went to bed very early.
Overnight the storm got worse and worse and was howling around and bouncing at the Camper. What a night. We didn’t get much sleep but felt extremely comfortable ámd safe.

How different our view was the next morning………..

Will be continued!
