1158 - Swiss boarder

Great we have made here

And the fog finally cleared!!

Alps here we come...

1011 - 23rd - Holy Foggy Cows!

While taking a leisurely drive on the A4 in northern France.. We had a reflex test in the fog...

Cows in road... Fortunately the anchors on the old swede worked well

But not the fuel gauge.. While pulling into a fuel station, the old girl ran out of fuel 3 ft from the pump!!

Way too much excitement for one morning

We are all working well, after a couple of pit stops looking for a new charger cable for the satnav


No 3G data connection most of the way

So blog updates are out of sync

We are now in the outskirts of Luxembourg in Dodgy barr

Pit stop

Somewhere near Brussels ...


All good so far

Satnav has flat battery ... Charger failed

iPhone satnav is the way forward

Eurotunnel

Yes we have made it this far

On the great departure

Well the intrepid journey has started to to raise monies for a worthy cause

While fuelling zeeebra-3 for big trip the police also arrive at fuel pump complete with a list of questions ???

After some chuckles with our outstanding law enforcement officers. We were given a clean bill of health and are now on route to catch a train

More in a while....
