Our test weekend with the Hymer (4)

Day 4, March 8 - 2010

We slept extremely well and only woke up at around 5 because we heard a soft tapping on the roof. When we got up at 8 it turned out it had been snowing…......... again!
Everyone knows I love snow and Tjep mentioned that it is following us because of this.

Surrounded by trees, the view was beautiful.
The dogs loved it too and pushed their noses through the snow during the morning walk. They returned with balls of snow dangling from their paws.

We had a shower but it definitely needs to be cleaned as we had just a few drops of water coming down!
Still it was nice to have a shower, very luxurious though!

After breakfast we decided to go back to Holland, to Drenthe but we changed our mind when we discovered how close we were to where our friends Loes and Arnold live. Born and bred in Holland, they moved to Germany a few years ago.
It would be a huge surprise for them to see us so unexpected.
Well……. If they would have been at home of course!
You guessed correctly, they were not at home. We left a note and drove via Nordhorn (worth wile visiting) to Lathen where my brother and his family live.
They did not expect us either but they were at home and it was a true surprise to see us.
We chatted away and they wanted to see the Camper. They loved it.

We left around 6 PM and although we decided earlier to go home, we looked for a nice place for the night. We parked the Camper near a depot for roadwork utilities. Nice and quite and again near a forest.
A nice and simple dinner, a quiet and cosy evening and again early to bed.

Will be continued!
