We’ve had a busy week this week. After leaving Nuremberg we went to the Knaus factory at Jandelsbrunn in the south east of Germany, just 25 km or so from both the Czech and Austrian borders. On the way we stopped off at a campsite in Eging, and then a stellplatz in Waldkirchen.
The team at the Knaus factory sorted out a couple of warranty issues which the factory in Hungary couldn’t fix back in March, and the van’s now 100%.
After leaving the factory we spent the next couple of days driving across Germany, covering more than 500km, and we stopped in Speyer for a last night in Germany before crossing over to France.
Speyer is home to the Technik Museum – the Technical Museum – which specialises in transport, everything from submarines to a Boeing 747 and a Russian space shuttle (no Trabants though!). Carol has come down with a cold and wasn’t feeling great – her first one since beginning our travels – so I went to the museum on my own (with her blessing!). I got there for opening time and had the place to myself, which was good as two hours later the place had been overtaken by kids. I returned to the van at lunchtime so that we could set off for France.

Hope C feels better soon. Having been cold free for 3.5 travelling years, I’ve had two since being back in the UK. So just keep on going! X
A-chooo! Carol x
Oh no poor Carol – she tempted fate by telling me only a few days ago that neither of you had had colds since leaving the UK last year. Do hope she feels better soon. I’m sure that Lemon vodka would help 🙂 Luv Lesley xx
Wrong country for the lemon vodkas …. will have to sup champagne instead and feed my cold with the lovely French food! Carol xx
**sup champagne**
I thought you might have had a sneaky bottle hidden somewhere in the motorhome – for emergencies 🙂 But I’m sure champagne will work just as well xx
