Germany

Next up for us has been a spot of bush camping in the forest in Germany. Having left the farm in Belgium at 7.00am (our routine being up at 5.30am, breakfast served at 6.00am, breakfast cleared away by 6.30am and on the road by 7.00am) the truck traveled 678km to an area of forest off the beaten track in Germany (nearest village unknown).

Ready to camp in the forest

It was a fairly uneventful day with the maximum permitted time on the truck of 9 hours being clocked up. The driver (Adam) has to conform to the European regulations when it comes to driving, the same as if he were say a haulage driver. Once we leave Turkey and enter Iran then there will be no restrictions on the distance we can travel in any given period.

Some of the girls find a small clearing for their tents

Once we were set up and dinner was eaten we took a short walk around the forest before bedding down for an unbearably cold night in the tent, with just 2 and a half hours sleep before our 5.30am alarm call.

Coming next...Prague (Czech Republic)
