Storm coming in over the marina

I have been very lax with my blog over the last few days,
seem to have been pre-occupied with making our way to UK and selling the van.
Left Germany on Thursday after swapping our gas bottle for a
full one and stocking up on supplies. Normally we would be looking for some
less busy roads but decided to use the motorways for the 2 ½ hour drive to
Geertruidenberg. It all went very smoothly but kept us on our toes as we
switched from one motorway system to another, and another…etc. The roading
system in Holland is brilliant and handles so much traffic, at times there was just
a solid line of trucks.
Finally got the motorhome listed on Auto Trader UK which was
rather difficult, but eventually got it there. Then our emails went down. Spent
much of yesterday sorting it out with Spark NZ on their chat line, and have to
compliment them on their efficiency and help. Seems their security system
closed the account down after it had been accessed fraudulently. It took ages
but finally got it reopened with new passwords and breathed another big sigh of
relief. Cleared our heads with a walk into town to pick up some bread for lunch
and last night walked in again to our favourite restaurant for dinner. A very
nice evening after a rather stressful day.
Had a lot of rain overnight and showers today, but went out
walking again checking out some of the house boats on the river, and have had a
bit of a relaxing day. Tomorrow we will leave about 9 and head to the ferry
terminal for our return to UK. Have felt rather sad with the news of the
passing of Queen Elizabeth, she really was an amazing lady who devoted herself
to her people.
