We disembarked at 8am into what was going to be a scorcher of a day. The sat nav was set for somewhere on the west coast of Denmark where we expect to be in a couple of days time so as to get us the way we want to go across The Netherlands and Germany. We weren't planning a long day so I delved into our Camperstop directory and looked out a few stopovers along our way. The one we have stopped at is at Hertme, near Almelo, a site that can accommodate 25 campervans in an orchard. There is an adjacent cafe where we have had a beer and there are decent facilities. I may go for a walk in a while. It is very friendly. I went to connect the hookup cable only to find that I didn't have an extension with a Continental plug on the end. A motorhomer nearby saw what the problem was and has lent me an adapter so we have electricity.
Our good Samaritan's own motorhome is below. The smaller "camper" behind is a trailer which contains a little car. Very neat.
A thunderstorm was forecast. It came with thunder and wind but very little rain. Still, the temperature has dropped significantly which is nice.

Our first full day, and it is
scorching! The Dutch lady we chatted to at our Service Station stop
told us it is never usually like this in Holland. As happened last
year on the Danube, we go to Northern Europe and Scandinavia to keep
cool and get heat waves .
Overnight Harwich to the Hook was good.
Calm as calm, and a lovely roomy cabin with a double and a single
bed. Could have done without being woken up an hour and a half before
docking though. They obviously want you to spend money in the shops
and restaurants.
We - or Geoff to be accurate - have
done about three hours driving today. A gentle start to acknowledge
the lack of sleep over the last two nights. We settled at lunchtime
in to a lovely small rural and shaded site on the Dutch side of the
German border and plan to relax here for 24 hours.
