Strandhorst

We´ve had a couple of busy days getting the boat ready to leave for a few of months. We´ll be back on the 6th August and hopefully the weather will be warmer by then. It was 6C this morning, although it has risen, now, to 13C. Actually, the chilly makes it easier to leave and head home to hopefully warmer climes. 

So .... some stats from skip. We did 357 kilometres in 26 days. We motored for 42 hours and used 160 litres of diesel (I shan´t divulge how many litres of wine :) ), and we did 287kms on our bikes.

We have the family arriving for a couple of hours this afternoon, including Cindi and Genna who are visiting from Cape Town and dinner at our favourite restaurant - the all-u-can-eat asian buffet Wok Inn. Yum. 

Tomorrow morning we are heading down to Eindhoven on the train from Ermelo to get the Ryanair flight to Lisbon. It will, believe it or not, be my first experience of a low-cost airline. Hope it does´nt live up to the billing.

Bye for now. See you in August.

And ´cos the boat is nice and tidy for the visitors, here are some pics .....
