Hello everyone. As you may know, our friends Peter and Liz have joined us on our trip this year. Yesterday we met in Calais, and Peter produced walky - talkies for us to use in our respective vans. I thought this great fun! But the men took it all rather seriously, and didn't join in with the Rubber Duck game. I was the only one who said "Copy that. 10 - 4," all day. However, it was funny when both Sat Navs gave different directions. It was the blind leading the blind. But we made it to Arnhem eventually.
Peter, Tony and I took the bus into Arnhem today, and went to see the bridge (too far). It was actually quite interesting, with a little visitor centre, which gave minimal information. This suited me, a bear of little brain. It was difficult to imagine the war-time scenes, but it felt sad all the same. I wanted Tony and Peter to do action shots near the bridge, but they were both reluctant. I think I need Kathy and Esther here to join in with my ideas!
We also went up the church tower. Now those who know me well will admire my courage here! It was a glass lift! Yes! And I kept my eyes open! Again, it was interesting, but scaffolding marred the view.
Arnhem is a pretty town, and we found a nice place to sit near the market, where we bought fresh fruit. For some reason shopping in European markets feels like fun. I'm not sure why.
The campsite is nice, too. It's in a forest, and the sun is shining. So, all in all, so far, so good.
The next post will be from Berlin in a few days' time. So watch this space!
