I was very tired, drove 132 km.V battery 12.5v hab batteries still* in the yellow 11v. V battery had lost power this morning since yesterday, it was also in the yellow, but back up in the green again now. If it´s no different after its been on EHU for a day I will complain to the garage. It was a lovely trip, weather could hardly have been better. The Navi decided to bring me home a different way and there was almost a disaster, twice, the first time she told me to turn sharp left, which would have been OK had there not been a buddy great bus coming from the right which was also a sharp bend, over my side of the white line by at least a meter, I had to back up to let him round, luckily nothing behind me. The second time was in a village, as I was going round the bend another buddy great bus was coming the other way, I stopped, he continued until he couldn´t go any further or he would have taken the front off the van, there were half a dozen cars behind me and a very high curb on the right so I couldn´t mount it, I crept forward but the mirror started to catch on one of the bus windows, I stopped, wound the window down (this is the passenger side don´t forget) I couldn´t pull the mirror in, the bus driver got out and told me to drive forward as far as possible, then he saw why I couldn´t and pulled the mirror in, blast I was worried, I crept as slowly as possible until he was able to get past, my wheels were almost rubbing the curb, again he was my side of the white line. Anyway alls well that ends well, except for the batteries. Will get something arranged about them. Canine news was studied. A lovely white soft friendly GSD spoke to us. A memorial of some sort 2 Swans who hissed at us and then one showed off.

Lovely pics Milly. Is that the Rhine?
well I hope you get to use the van a bit now if you can. It owes you!
I would be annoyed about the batteries.

Yes it's the Rhein. Don't ask me where, South of St. Goarshausen. Where the pleasure boats were going North and I went south, I should have followed the boats, I will next time because there were no pullins until I reached this parking place. I'm not what you would call pleased about the batteries, it will get sorted, maybe not this week, next week Heike is off work so things can get done.

I've had the EHU connected since Wed evening, this morning I have had to unplug the leclic for 2 hours to allow the lady next door to get out of her gate and get in a car that takes her to some therapy, she is unable to walk far and the van was stopping a car getting to her gate. After just over an hour I checked the level and they both read 12.6v so with another 24 hours I hope they will be OK. The neighbour is back so I will drive back and reconnect.

Glad you are getting use out of the van Jan, they are an expensive toy just sitting idle on the driveway. Stay safe and have fun.
