| Reroofing a thatched cottage |
Woke this morning and the sun
was shining, so thought we were in for a good day….but it didn’t last! Stopped
as we drove into the little town of Wackerballig when we spotted a house having
a new thatch roof. They had large bales of thatch on the ground and the guy was
attaching it to the roof with wire. Saw by the sign on the van (from what I
could interpret!) that they were specialists in thatch roofing. Popped into the bank to get some Euro’s, and
then to LIDL supermarket for a few supplies before heading south. We are
meeting up with Conny and Gerhart this afternoon but planned on stopping at the
rather nice town of Eckernforde, but the rain came and once again it was
torrential. Decided that wandering around in town in the pouring rain was no
fun, so changed the GPS and went directly to Stellplatz, arriving early afternoon.
And the rain stopped!
The stellplatz is on the banks
of the 100km Nord-Ostee-Kanal, and we can watch the huge ships passing through,
we are only 50 metres away so get a birds eye view. Evidently this Canal has
more traffic than the Suez and Panama put together.
It is a long weekend in
Germany, which we have just discovered and the Stellplatz is full with a
function happening, so were lucky to get a spot. Another great night spent with
Conny and Gerhart, enjoying a few bubbles!
