Europe-16
We had to order a tyre from England as there were no such tires on the continent. So, Jo’s cousin did the job, bought the tire and two tubes.(just in case) We were stuck in this campsite, the wind came up so I thought it would be fun to fly a kite. So…I made one.
Ah, Midge. Not an especially loyal girlfriend but turned into a great lifelong friend.
It was fun and we met a lot of great people who were camping there. The campsite was a kind of squatters retreat and some of the people had been there for months.
Waited and waited for the tire and tubes.
Europe-15
Trying to fix the car. That night we were able to stay with two families. One put up Midge and the other took care of Jo and me. That evening the man told me that he fought on the eastern front. Sat us at a separate table in it’s own room and treated us like royalty. Showed me pics. Nice folks, took great care of us.

Europe-14
The sign says ‘No Way Down’ A scary memory. What it really meant was that this was the going-up stairs and if you want to go down use the other.
