Fri 6th – Sat 7th
It was a grey drizzly drive around Bremen at snail’s pace
through all the roadworks and we arrived at the wohnmobilplatz in Wildeshausen
by about 12.30. Luckily the sun came out soon after and it became quite warm
again. We went for an explore later in the afternoon to get our bearings, next
to a swimming pool and amusement park, with walks through the woods to the
town. Sitting outside Juliette when we got back was better than tv any day,
watching all the different types of motorhomes arriving and getting settled. We
have 2 Norwegian couples alongside us and a big yellow old army truck type
thing plastered with stickers opposite us. They needed a 6 rung ladder to get
in and out of it! Quite entertaining.
Sat….Again another nice sunny morning so we headed off on
to the town to have a look around. Wildeshausen is a strange mix of very old
buildings including a town hall and new modern ones including another town
hall. We found a lovely park to sit in and contemplate life for a while, then
had a nose in the church which was being readied for a wedding in the
afternoon. Lovely flower decorations on all the pews as well as round the altar
and pulpit. We would have liked to see the actual wedding but thought it better
not to gate-crash, so carried on up the pedestrianised area window shopping. We
chilled out for the rest of the afternoon then went to a Greek restaurant just
up the road for dinner, excellent food for 31 euros. When we got back to
Juliette, all the spaces had been filled, Dutch, Belgian, Swedish and just us
Brits. A Dutch lady came to talk to us, she used to live in Bexleyheath when
her father worked at the Dutch embassy in London. Sadly they had had to cut
their trip short in Norway as her brother had died whilst on holiday in Spain,
so they were racing homewards.
