An early departure for the proper start of Eurotrip 6, with a Tunnel reservation at 08:50. Despite a detailed tour of Folkestone, seeking out fuel, we still arrived at the Channel Tunnel at 07:15 and were promptly ushered onto the 07:49 train.

We do like the flexibility of Eurotunnel even if you do pay a bit more than the ferries.

By 9:45 (Central European Time) we were on our way to Camping Prumtal. Our route took us north of Calais and then east to Brussels and onward to Liege and finally over the border into Germany. As is the norm, traffic around Brussels was busy and chaotic but until reaching Germany we had made good progress.

Progress was hampered when the A60 south to Bitburg was closed for maintenance and we didn’t recognise any of the signposting of the myriad of diversion routes through small country lanes.

At one point we abandoned one of the diversions which included turning the caravan around in a farmers yard!

Arrived late afternoon at Camping Prumtal and secured a lovely plot next to the river. It’s nearly 3 years since our last visit here and the owners have been very busy adding a whole new area of fully serviced pitches and a very nice new toilet block. The facilities would be worthy of any 5-star hotel.

The weather has been good all day and in the evening we enjoyed a BBQ in shirt sleeves and then a post dinner walk along the River Prum.

Camping Prumtal is THE place to visit in this region.
