After getting the tyre sorted out we had some breakfast and packed up the tent then set off. We drove about 20km to the next/t big town and stopped for more breakfast and to access the internet.
From there we navigated along the smaller highways to Gluckstadt where we caught the ferry across the Elbe to Wischafen. The line of cars and trucks waiting to catch the ferry took about an hour. The ferry itself held about 4 big trucks and maybe 15 cars. The crossing took about 25 minutes.
Navigating from here became increasingly difficult as the computer keeps running out of charge despite being plugged into the inverter. We got ourselves to the Emsjade Canal on a little road and stopped for money. The boys were itching to play football so we asked a couple of local ladies who pointed us to a spot over the dyke. Here was a beach, a restaurant and a place to camp. It is supposed to be for mobile homes but we decided to bend the rules just for the night. The boys played football with a little lad called Leon before we had dinner and got off to bed.
