We said good-bye and thank you this morning to Pádraig’s nurses and therapists and doctors. We had a tremendous time in Burgau. My head is still spinning with all the new stuff and ideas we encountered. So much to digest…

We left, I think, just after 2pm and expected to arrive in Münster at around 8 to interrupt our journey to the North Sea.

We arrived just after midnight, following traffic jams caused by cars broken down in ad                                                                                                                                                       roadwork spots, blocking lanes, and accidents that were so bad that the police closed the whole motorway. Drivers and other accident professional can no ew

And then, about 20km from our guesthouse, a huge bang, so loud that we thought a tyres must have blown out. But it wasn’t a tyre.

We made it to the Gästehaus. Really slow. Just about to go to sleep now. We’re completely exhausted. Will check the car tomorrow morning…

And we’ll stick with the ‘Rettungsgasse” – something through and through German!
