Tuesday 25 September
So, this morning it felt really strange to have to get up for an appointment, especially as we haven't had to be anywhere at a given time for three months. Still needs must and we were up at 6.30am showered and ready to go by 8am. Today is the day Campy gets the windows sorted. We arrived at the VW garage at about 8.30am and handed in the keys to the reception. We then waited.....
Eventually, after two very good cups of coffee we were told the news. One of the windows has been replaced and all is well with that one but the one over the hob does as suspected need to be replaced. So it's back again for a second day. This time it's an all day job as the stuff they stick the window on with needs time to cure. On the up side we won't have to pay to park the van in the car park and we can have the whole day in Dorchester, plus the van will be fixed before we head off to spain.
We came back to the campsite for lunch and spent the afternoon planning the start of the route through france. Looks like our first stop will be Reims on one of the many Aires in France. We think we will do about 200 miles or so a day through France till we get to Monaco and then take our time driving along the Rivera and Med coast till we arrive in Malaga on 27 October. We can't really see the point in making a fixed route and planning every day, we would much rather let thinks happen en Route as it were. In other words we will sort it out as we go along it will all become apparent as we go. You can do that when you don't have a schedule.
Anyway, its up early again tomorrow for us....
