A cold and very wet night was followed by a similar morning – the temperature at 09:00 was 13°C and only reached a maximum of 16°C all day. Wet, cool August days – it was just like being in England and, in fact, we had very similar weather to that at home – cold and wet in the morning, clearing up for the afternoon. Having said that, I suspect that the weather in England was better than here as we had very little sunshine.
The weather and the Olympics kept us tied to the campsite for the day. Although we can't get BBC terrestrial channels, we can pick up BBC News 24 and I discovered that, by pressing that little red button, we were going to be able to follow the closing ceremony. We were also able to see all of those fantastic British medal wins by selecting highlights in the interactive section. Considering that we have hardly watched any television for a year, watching TV for almost the whole day was rather strange.
Photos: An umbrella covers our camping neighbours' table, although there is no room for the chairs. We speculated that they had positioned the table next to the electricity point so that they could plug in their fan heater!

Hello,
I stumbled upon your blog recently and while I've not had a good chance to read in detail all about the adventures, I just wanted to let you know that I've certainly been enjoying your wonderful pictures of Europe.
It's all very beautiful and interesting to read the tidbits here and there.
Safe Travels!
