2pm Macca informs me that the heater in the front is NOT working and for all the time the back seat boys have been sweltering under blankets the driver has been freezing off his proverbials. Graeme demonstrates by breathing white mist and chattering his teeth. A small blanket was duly provided for his improved comfort.We are fed up of looking at sausages and large slabs of fried meats at the service stations so we are in search of more traditional German food at McDonalds.
2.20pm
5 plates of fisch and veal with kartofellen later (Graeme plumps for a salad) and we are all convinced the term Sauerkraut was invented because of the mood their motorway cafe food puts the Germans in.
5.40pm
We are about an hour from Amsterdam a big party is planned at one of the cafes and the Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Wilma and Daphne costumes are being freshened up ready for their final outing. While everyone will be glad to get to the final destination I think everyone will also be a little sad to realise the journey is almost over.
Mac is back behind the wheel for the last few k and was itching at the bit to take over from Graeme for last hour.
The sun is out, the beers are cracked and life is good.
ps We have eaten 348 g of fat in crisps alone in the last four days.....nice. A tin of raw corned beef was also one of the highlights of the trip's haute cuisine eaten from the tin with a penknife.
