Outward journey and the Randboldal camping
On Tuesday the 8th of July we got up early, just after five o'clock. After packing all things we
left at 6:10 am. The roads were not busy at this early hour. After two hours we crossed the German border.
Just past it we stopped for something to eat and drink and after about a quarter we continued.
Via Osnabrück and Bremen we headed for Hamburg. We had a short break there after which we drove
on northwards to Flensburg near the Danish border. We stopped at a bank were we exchanged Euros for Danish money.
We stayed to have lunch near a small lake, a very pleasant place to stay. Then onwards to the campsite in
Randboldal, not far from Legoland.
The last part was via local roads, so it took us some time. We also had a few drops of rain, but not much.
Apart from the few drops of rain, we had nice sunny, partly clouded, weather this day.

Having a rest in front of our cabin after a tiring journey
After checking in at the campsite we went to our cabin. A small wooden hut with a bunk bed and a sleeping couch.
There was also a small kitchen with some cooking facilities, a fridge and a coffee machine. After having had a drink,
we went to the playground where Ciska had lots of fun. In the meantime we did some shopping for dinner
and breakfast for the next morning. Then we went back to our cabin to eat. After dinner our neighbours
arrived, a Dutch family, which had visited Legoland today. They've had a great time there although it
was a bit expensive. Our other neighbours are also from The Netherlands. But that was it, as guests go from
Holland, most people on this campsite are Danish. We did like this campsite very much, quiet, nice playground
with a pool. The cabin was also ok, no toilet or shower but they were very close by.
