LOADING AT BRECHT

On all good things come an end.
After a few days of rain driving from Ypres to the proximity of the port of Antwerp we had a sunny day for preparing the vehicles for shipping.



So may more places and events had been visited than reported on this site. Everyday had its highlight and my body is still buzzing with impressions.

After helping the Aussies and NZĂ©rs load their vehicles,


The boss drove me on to Apeldoorn in Holland.

We could not believe that after 5000 miles we arrived 100m from our final destination to see the veterans day celebrations on the Market place.


Willy just joined in for the fun and phoned a few friends to welcome us back in our new home.












The trip has been very succesfull and the impressions need many more months to sink in.

Many thanks for all who looked after us in the last weeks.

But for now I leave it and I am looking foward to short trips during my retirement
It has been a pleasure informing you about our progress in the last six weeks.
To all, the very best and hope to see you soon,
Willy, 12 June 2009









Many thanks to all in the group who cared for me. In the end a flat tyre and a starting motoe was all that failed. And that a t my age of 67 !!
