20 -21 July 2016 Camping Grimbergen Brussels

Arrived at Aachen campsite 1235 reception had just closed so a 3 hour wait for it to re-open so we decided to move on to Brussels again for 2 days. Just outside this campsite is a massive swimming pool that made getting into the campsite a bit difficult as it was a mad hot day and busy. Great on the campsite as usual. A long walk for some bread about 40 mins there 40 mins back. Next day was a national holiday in Brussels so a Sunday bus service this meant a 40 mins walk to the bus stop. Quite in town first thing then got busier.

The Manikin Pi was dressed up for holiday as a guard this is one of the most over rated over photographed tourist things I have seen.

22 July 2016 Brighton Campsite

A long drive to the tunnel managed an earlier train than booked no problems, on leaving Dover the queues at Dover for ferries – tunnel where massive on the M20 wow and a hot day. Into Brighton for a Cornish pasty and Costa then back to the cinema to see the new Star Treck movie (Rubbish).

23  July 2016 Green Pastures Southampton (the New Forest)

What a busy road down to here traffic jams all over for no reason just bad road management on roundabouts. (Hell at this time of the year). Called in at Southdown motorhomes to buy some more new cleaning products and saw a barbie and paella pan we wanted so bought it. Arrived pitched up got the bikes out and cycled to the farm shop for some burgers to try our new Barbie out.

Works great not that we are burger people but will be handy for fish and stir fries etc. Cycled down to check out a steam fair to come and see in the morning.
