Tuesday 13 Sept Westende at Ostende

Crossing was good, excellent buffet dinner, the only but was we we last off the ferry so hit the road at 11am.

Weather too good on the coast (30+) to head up the Rhine so first detour from the route to Westende which is about 5 kill o miles along the coast from Ostende.

Plenty of entertainment getting to the site as there are loads of roadworks and detour signs are not in Cumbrian.  Got to within 200m of the site and had to unhitch and turnaround. A very helpful van driver pointed out the I was blocking the road and he couldn't wait, well guess what, he had to. Then got to a 5 lanes end junction and had to reverse to get the right one, again a very helpful driver stopped and pointed out to Cheryl that this was not a good place to park a caravan. Eventually arrived  at the site but as we came in from the wrong end, we missed reception. I stopped at the barrier to look for reception when again a very helpful lady explained to Cheryl that the caravan was blocking, and you can't block. This lady turned out to be the night receptionist who was later again very helpful in giving us wrong directions for the local shop.

Anyway, site brilliant and everyone else very friendly.
