Since we arrived in Germany we haven’t had an early morning and today was the first one. We managed to be on the move at 10am, heading to our next stop to dump our toilet and spend the night. It was only a 40 minute drive so we had plenty of the day left over to go explore. Or so I thought. Once Julie started to clean up the bathroom area, she decided to clean the floors and the counter tops – and then it was a cleaning spree. Everything was taken out of the van for cleaning, especially the stuff in the storage above the front car seats. Since the weather has been cold at night and warm in the day, condensation has been a huge problem but we were able to curb most of it with the dehumidifier we picked up in Wolfrathausen. However, since the weather hasn’t been nice, we don’t open the van up to air out like before and the storage area above our heads started to produce mold. Pretty much everything needed to be cleaned and dried. So we spent most of the day dealing with this mess and decided to spend two nights instead of one. The next day we ventured into town to pick up groceries. Oh, and we witnessed that even if there is a huge (50 camping spots) area set aside for camper vans, that people still try to come up with their own. In this case they liked to choose the student parking lot at the school, which was across the street. Silly bastards.
