We've returned home to the Seattle area as of August 2008, what an experience we've had! Please contact us via the links on this page with any questions or comments you may have.

The Winnebago Sightseer 35J has been sold to a lovely Scottish couple, so it will continue its adventures in Europe.

Marina Rünthe - Pics from camping

Catching up on some posts - folks are asking for more pics. If you are browsing international sites, you can use Babel Fish from Altavista to translate the web sites: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ - works like a charm.


Our first pay self-serve spot was at Marina Rünthe (where the press loved us) - in the shadow of a nuclear power plant... but inexpensive and pleasant. The area is being built up with new apartment homes and a new hotel. The town was too far for us to stay long and to access the Internet connection, we had to be directly outside the hotel.

Self serve station - one side contains the payment slot and the water spout (add'l); the side you see in the picture is where you pull around to empty the grey and black water.


The view!







We were published in the local newspaper on Wednesday, 15.August! Here's a standalone image.

Just to let you know: the "nuclear power plant" actually burns hard coal :-)
There's no nuclear power plant around Bergkamen for dozens of miles - or maybe even hundreds. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time in Europe.
