Well here we are in Wiesbaden, Germany. Got up at 5:00am on Thursday morning, out of the house just before 6:00am and rolling up to the Channel Tunnel at 7:45 - 112 miles from our house ... how spooky is that?
40 minutes to cross the English Channel on the Eurotunnel train - fantastic - and we are rolling out of Calais where it started raining. The rain continued through France, Belgium and Holland and only cleared when we got into Germany. From then on it was just off and on!
Held our speed down to 65 mph and thus managed to get 49.5 miles per gallon - those Saab diesels are very frugal - we still have a half tank left so that should get us back to Belgium before we need to think about refuelling - diesel is cheaper in Europe than at home!

Incredible! Almost 50 miles to the gallon...I get just over half that in a car that is "marketed" as fuel efficient..Bah!
