A Bad Start to the Day

Day 3

Started off poorly as our car wouldn’t start. We quickly discovered this was because John had left the headlights on all night. However we relished the opportunity to look like we knew anything about cars and busted out the Jump start cables. A kind passer-by offered us some assistance and to our surprise we connected the cables and managed to start the car in minutes.

We said our thanks and got back on track to Germany in good spirits. Spirits were further raised when another generous passer by donated €5 to us on the motorway through the car window.

We continued to an Aldi near Hanover and decided to wild camp at a secluded place nearby. We fired up the stove and parked ourselves in some field off the main road where we had a chilled evening next to the cows.
