After a successful visit to Munich to pick up our Carnet for the vehicle (needed in Africa) we headed across Germany and France on our way back to the UK.
The French Unions were doing their best to reduce fuel supplies to a trickle as we motored along the French/German, French/Belgium boarders, but with a range of nearly 2000klm in our two fuel tanks we comfortably made it back to the UK without having to search out a fuel station with supplies.
On the way we visited two of the war grave sites around Villers-Bretonneux. A stark and very moving reminder of the madness that is war. Some of the nicest woodland scenery that we were to see in Europe we saw on this part of the journey. Not much of it, but a nice change from the farm fields that cover this part of France.
On arriving back in the UK we spent the next several days at a B&B at Harlow north of London near where Foley Land Rover has their workshop. Foleys specialize in preparing expedition Land Rovers for locals, who want to in the boss's words, "tick the UK to South Africa box". We have arranged with Foleys to store and then ship our Land Rover to Walvis Bay in Namibia around April next year.
In the meantime it’s back home to OZ.
