Arrived very early and have a long wait in the car as it's raining and windy outside. Trying to get a few hours rest before check in. For future reference there is absolutely nothing open in Dunkirk late on a Sunday evening. Tom@

Bit more shopping done, but gutted the coffee place with Jamaican blue mountain is shut today! So instead a cappuccino and Belgium waffle! In another cafe. This is going to take weeks to pay off, but right now seems well worth it. Tom

Another day waiting is another day chilling in Brugge. Went gift shopping earlier but still got loads to get people. Found another little cafe for lunch, interesting 'american sauce' on my chips, no idea what it is! Haven't seen Max since he wandered off in the opposite direction this morning! Tom

Brugge is such a nice place, finding so many lovely small shops, antiques and chocolatiers, amazing cafes and tea rooms. Sorry to everyone who is expecting gifts - you have no idea how expensive this place is! I am however considering breaking the bank and buying a kg of Jamaican Blue mountain.... Txt Y or N to 07952524248 to help me make up my mind. Tom

Topped the car up, hopefully for the last time on the continent. The difference in price from Russian fuel is painful; but I suppose I'd rather pay stealth taxes than bribes. Max@

After last nights mental weather we stayed the night next to a mcdos, my snoring got to Max again so he spent the night outside (luckily rain had stopped) and we both awoke to freezing weather. Enjoyed a quick maccy bekkie in the morning before hitting the road again, aiming for Brugge. Tom@

Adverse weather conditions disrupt traffic on the autobahn, even the Germans are down to 30mph. Max

Got lost again around Berlin's stupid ring road on the way out, then managed to get some sleep while Max drove for a few hours. It's amazing how cheap shell garages are here compared to the UK, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for a location specific Shell Tshirt or a prepackaged battered bratwurst just yet. In other news if anyone knows the frequency of BBC world service we'd appreciate a txt, so far we have opera and traditional Spanish music... Tom
