Supplementary story

On day 8 when we left Saarburg dad also left his toilet bag. No problem you'd think, just buy a few more toiletries but no: in the bag were his tablets!!!

We tried to email but our German is sadly lacking. So when we arrived at St Avit a nice young British rep for Eurocamp who could speak German offered not only to ring the site but did so on their own phone! As far as we could make out it was to be sent to the camp site and we would send them euros to cover the cost. ( we left there on the Thursday, emailed Saturday, phoned Sunday and it was posted Monday ) Great we thought but every day no bag. We tried phoning but thought it was confirmed it was on its way to us. So eventually the staff at St Avit said that when/if it arrived they'd contact us. Not a lot more we could do so we thought we'd move on. Then there was the roof debacle........when we reached Arcachon 3 days ago it had arrived!!!!! Not only would they put it in the post they would ring this site and tell them it was on its way!!!

And today after 12 days without it and tablets.
