Time to say goodbye!

Today we finally left for our big adventure with a few days of unexpected Covid delay, but we couldn't leave of course without saying some goodbyes! Last week the kids had their last days at school and the creche. With some tears, a lot of sweets packed in small suitcases and a lot of books to take with us it was time to part from friends and favorite teachers.

We were very happy to see many of our friends joining us at Barrels for some farewell drinks on Thursday evening. Thanks everyone again for the kind words and nice presents. We already look forward to the Welcome Back party in September 😊.

In the last few days we visited (grand)parents, Nance, Omi and Anita, accompanied with a laugh and a small tear. We did some sightseeing to test our bikes in Bemmel and to see the Kubuswoningen in Rotterdam.

So, back to the start of the trip. This morning we left Rotterdam already early as we had quite some trip ahead of us to Lyon via Luxembourg. At 7.15 we drove in the direction of Belgium to drop off our car in Arlon and pick up the camper. Luckily there was not much delay at Antwerp and Brussels, so we could drive off again at 11.00 in the direction of France. The weather is great to drive, we had two stops to have a bite and to switch driver. Sanne also made the first kilometres in the camper and with an almost empty Route du Soleil we arrived at 17.00 at Camping International de Lyon. It is actually quite busy at the campsite, but we can pick an empty spot were we like. After a quick set-up for only one night we eat something at an Italian restaurant nearby and will head to bed early as tomorrow there is another long drive on the program to Camping Esponella.
