Stopping off at GENT'S music festival then driving past BRUSSELS and sleeping on the road side near MAASTRICT.

We headed off to KLON, where we had a nice traditional germany lunch of Sausage, Sauerkrat and Beer.( Furth )
After KLON, we travelled to BONN FRANKFURT and received a text from a fellow Rally driver that he was camping near MILTERNBERG, so we joined them in then German national park and it was truelly WonderBar !!!
