Under the Weather and Not Just the Rain

Woke up in the middle of the night about 1pm feeling terrible and had to walk in the light rain to the toilet block. Obviously ate something suspect yesterday and it has continued to wipe me out most of the day. We did make some progress though as we are now in Colmar - a town in Alsace.

The photo tells an interesting story. We have been able to book some good campsites up till now but I couldn’t believe it when I called round several campsites only to be told they were all full. Last on the list we couldn’t speak to anyone but apparently they have 208 pitches and you don’t need to book. Ha! Not this day - we drove over there and saw the “complet”. I was beginning to lose hope.

The other alternative is overnight parking for Camper Vans and I managed to find one in Colmar. When we got there, someone had just taken the last space in this rather cosy terraced camper van park. However, I walked into the office and she said she thought she had one more site. Turns out someone had parked in the vacant space without paying and she duly ushered them out so we could park - the very last space in this park of close fellowship. But we have electricity and toilets and showers and the sky actually turned blue in places!

Hoping for a recovering nights sleep as we trundle on down to Como for the night
