9 juin 2024 - Election day in Belgium! After fulfilling our civic duty, we go and vote for friends of ours again, with a proxy. After patiently enduring the long queue, we also colour in the votes with a red pencil.
Then it is finally time to leave for the Czech Republic. Today we have a 420 km drive ahead of us. Due to the elections, there are a lot of people on the road, but there is smooth traffic everywhere, also in Antwerp. It is a sunny day and we reach our overnight accommodation in Bad Arolsen (Germany) without any problems. We are at Reisemobilhafen Twistesee, Bad Arolsen, a large camper place (150 places) on the lake. A few years ago we already stayed here during our trip to Sauerland. I had reserved a place there to be on the safe side because I did not know what time we would arrive.
Nice anecdote: Bad Arolsen is the place where I fulfilled my military service in 1977.
