Hi. So today we drove the 300+ miles back to Amsterdam. Before we left lubeck we filled up on cheap booze from lidl and some nice oil and antifreeze for the car. Was a lovely day today and the car is going great. Managing to nurse almost 30mpg out of a car that's only meant to do 26!! Would get more but Ellis has a big right foot!!
Had a total panic in lubeck today. Went to change some money and couldn't find my passport!! Had to go the 20 mins back to the car in a total panic to see if it was there. By the time I got there I felt sick with worry, thankfully it was under the car seat!! No idea how it got there but I could of cried with relief!
So now the joys of Amsterdam. Firstly it is a lovely looking city with nice old buildings full of character. Had a very nice Chinese (Ellis suggested) followed by a brief and scary walk through the red light district. Don't think we are cut out for this as we were more interested in the moor hen nesting on some rubbish and a swan fighting with some ducks!!
So a beer later we are back at the hotel in our attic room, Ellis can hardly stand up in it and the loo is a joke.
Just gonna plan what our stratagy will be to try and make up our lost ground. Esentially everyone else is about 2000 miles ahead of us.
So just gonna make the most of it between here and tallin.
Ps did you know the coffee shops are not actually coffee shops here??
