Wehad another good day at Legoland trying out some of the rides that we didn't do yesterday. A couple of these were roller coasters that were a bit too scary for Michael. Timothy got to drive around in a little electric car for around 15 minutes. Michael is too young to do so.
We left Legoland later than I had hoped and drove south over the German border. We then turned off the motorway and headed for Husum near the Atlantic coast. However, I felt tired and the boys were arguing so I stopped at a hotel. They didn't have a room so we set off again only to realise that we had a flat tyre. I pulled over into a side road, parked and started to change for the spare. However, the spare wouldn't fit on. The centre hole is too small for the Imp's hubs. I got this tyre and rim from Bernard in Collie who presumably got it one of his Imp acquisitions. Strange that all the rims are not the same.
So I was scratching my head wondering what to do when a Dutch chap, Norbert, stopped to ask what was wrong. After a short chat he rode away but came back a few minutes later suggesting that we might be able to camp in the garden of the house opposite. Which indeed we did.
Thankfully, we had stopped outside a tractor service shop and this morning they swapped the good tyre fro the bad rim to the rim with the damage tyre. Now we are in Husum and will head South into Holland.
