Sick Herman

Well, the blown side light was not blown at all. Half the driving lights were out and the fuse kept blowing. I called the breakdown service (getting my moneys worth) and we had to take Herman to a garage who managed to bypass the short circuit. We'll have to get that sorted properly when we are back in the UK. Sorting that out took most of the day and we didn't do anything. The rain had stopped and the sun shone down on us a few times but we basically lost a day's holiday. I think we still have a mouse on board and it's chewed through some wiring. It's a good job we took out the breakdown cover. Although, I still had to pay the garage €87. I can claim for it back but that's not the point.

In the evening we sat down in the campsite bar with Ken and Phil (father and son). They are nice chaps and helped us out with a few things while I was attending Herman's short. Ken has lots of stories, about camping and when he was a boy in the war. He's getting on a bit too. After a few pints of Leffe beer and a very large Bowlands whiskey it was around 1am. It was a good night and David the campsite owner joined us too. He's very funny. He kept getting told off by his wife for being too loud.
