The hotel really pulled it out of the bag and breakfast was great so we made the best of it and filled up for what we hoped would be a long days drive to catchup with the rest. We hoped. I had not slept at all worrying about whether we would get back on the road. If we didn't what do we do with us, our belongings and Olly. A lump in our throats as we tried to be positive. It dawned on me that I had become emotionally attached to Olly. I suppose having her on our drive for over a year and getting married with Olly playing a staring role was allways going to make parting with her hard. I had never even thought we would have to.
We arrived at the garage and she was in the bay with bonnet up. Craig said that was a good sign. Then the News we had waited for, she was.....Olly was saved. New lease of life and we were back in the Windy. I fought back the tears, never so relieved to get back in a car for 7 hours of constant driving from Germany to ................ Krakow in Poland !
The boys did a great job and I was so glad to say goodbye to Germany as were we all. We caught up with the rest of the group at Krakow. The campsite was cracking and we were on a group pitch with some of the teams. After the nightmare 2 days we were so pleased to be back under canvas and cooking on Nik's pride and joy his Son of Hibatchi BBQ. Nik was glad to finally get his very cheap beer and tired and hungry he was soon 4 sheets to the wind. Worrying as he was sleeping between Craig and I in our small tent, only just big enough for our 3 airbeds! Weird honeymoon, I do agree. Wouldn't change it for the world though, actually we are getting some of the world!
We sadly, have not been the only ones to full by the way side. Team Freedomescaping broke down in Prague and were told the part they neede would not be available for 5 days. Big decisions for them too. Currently looking into buying part in uk and flying it out by courier.
Craig finally settled after spending time in his favourite place, under the hood of Olly. They are truly BFF's
Destination from Krakow, Poland .........
