2022/04/07, day 5, Camping Riarena

Left our lovely park up at Bad Bellingen, and headed towards Basel and Switzerland. The border was big, long lines of trucks but we just sailed through did not see a single Swiss customs or border person.The VIA app was installed and 10 individual days purchased 1 day validated and that was itWe had aimed for a free stop at Hergiswil on the side of a mountain over looking lake Lucerne and the Alps stunning even on a grey wet day. It was incredibly windy and exposed so we decided to move after a coffee. Another free stop planned but missed the turn due to road works so carried onto a campsite (plan C). This was a nightmare trip with roadworks and a one way system via single track roads that they didn’t put any signs up for so we ended up trying to go the wrong way and had to squeeze over a tiny bridge nut very haha.The campsite had a bizarre check in process where they leave cards outside and you choose a pitch and take the appropriate card. First pitch mile’s from electric post, 2nd pitch uneven but ok. The electric connection is one we do nut have or have ever seen before uniquely Swiss hopefully, so we are not on EHU but acsi makes the medicine go down.The campsite restaurant has a schnitzel and fries for 19€ ??. We declined and had pasta and beer in the van.Price: 22

Ieper, Ypres day 1

Date: 2022/04/03 at Ypres Aire on day 1Left Hemingby at 03:30 heading towards Tesco for fuel and the tunnel, easy journey clear roads.When we arrived at the M20, operation Brock in action so junctions closed and trucks parked up everywhere.Eventually arrived at the tunnel Junction 11(?), Check-in machines but working so massive queues waited about an hour to get through. It appears as the ANPR was not working so we had to enter booking number etc.. Total lack of information about the issue and what you would need at the check-in just stupid. Lacking in staff at this point but more than made up for by number of orange jacketed individuals spread all over the terminal.Crossing was easy enough 10:36 departure.Drive off sorted gas etc and then cracked on to the first stop in YpresArrived parked walked round the lake. Then took a stroll into Town had some beers and a croque Mons.{Location: Camperplaats Zillebeke Vijver, coords: 50.83559492,2.90515422}
