This weekend we went first to grandpa and grandma in Hulst (on friday) and then on saturday we all (including the caravan) set out to drive to Germany.
We drove all the way to a place called St Goar where the campsite is directly at the river called the Rhein. We set up the caravan and found out that there was a better spot where they had a better view at the river and away from other campers. So, legs in and disconnected the power again, caravan behind the car and on to the other spot. After that was done we went to the hotel we were to stay the night and checked in. The room was at the top floor and ofcourse, no elevator! 5 bags and a baby bed later dad was exhausted.. The dinner was in St Goar itself where mom and dad spent a night in the very same place durig their honeymoon. Some things had changed but mostly it all was the same as when they were there. Unfortunately we did not have a very relaxed dinner with 2 kids and a baby who needed a lot of attention. But is was worth the trouble. After dinner we went to bed, yes to bed not a sleep! Due to trains on both sides of the river and the busy road just outside of the hotel.. Lisette slept like a baby but not me.. Sunday morning we picked up grandpa and grandma to have breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast we hurried back to the campsite to set up the tent that neede to be set up. It is a horrible tent to put up as it just doesn't make sense! The poles don't make sense, the pins didn't want to go into the ground.. A real bugger. Then the sattelite dish.. GRRrrrrrr But we succeeded, more or less. A quick sandwich and then it was time for us to say goodbye to grandma and grandpa, they are going to stay there for 2 weeks, let's just hope the weather stayes okay.
