July 31 - August 2: Germany

 Sunday, July 31

I got a workout in and did laundry before heading out on the 4+ hour drive to Frankfurt Airport.  The drive was pretty easy as it was mostly on 3 lane well-maintained highways.  We did see one major accident that caused a several mile backup on the other side of the road. 


We made it on time to meet the Korean couple who brought us a step down transformer — we still need a 30 to 15 amp adapter to close the circuit.

We headed to Germany’s answer to Home Depot to look for a 30 to 15 amp adapter for our van -- unfortunately, no luck.  Next, we went to IKEA — it was the first time in my life — holy cow.  This place was huge with so much stuff for every room in the house.  IKEA is an organizer’s dream.


Last stop for the day was a basic campground with no frills — just an electric space with showers and a toilet.  I have to make sure to fill up fresh water and empty black tank in the morning.

After a relaxing morning, we headed out on a 3+ hour ride to Düsseldorf, Germany.  We parked in one shady area right along the Rhine River and had a tasty lunch (Kimchi Jae Bokum) that Ashley prepared. We also had cucumber kimchi and Korean beans.  


After lunch, I felt exhausted but we needed to move our van to another location.  There were no campsites so we parked in a lot right next to the Rhine and adjacent to a park.  After setting up shop, we walked downtown and took cool pics before visiting a Chinese and Korean market.  


It’s going to be a hot one tonight — really sticking right now — hope it cools down quickly.
