Tuesday 20th June 2017 – Tornesch, Germany

It was another very hot day - 27°C before 09:00 but Henrietta showed no ill effects from yesterday as we travelled on towards Hamburg. There were periods of very slow-moving traffic, especially around Duisberg and Hamburg but we had no engine problems and by late afternoon we were heading north from Hamburg on the A23. Jane had identified a hotel in Tornesch that offered a motorhome stop and had a restaurant – ideal. Unfortunately, as we approached it, we realised that things had changed in the 7 years since the aires book had been published! We did manage to stay there for the princely sum of €5 but there was no restaurant. We could have tried the next option on our list but we were frazzled with the heat and a long journey and were just glad to be able to hunker down for the night. The good news was that the temperature was falling and a little breeze was blowing.
