Day twenty four - Bad Traffic and thunderstorms

28th July, the title says it all really - we decided to head towards Bruges, some 509 miles, according to the computer it should have taken about ten hours give or take a bit at the speed we are traveling and allowing for stops on the way. Up early and packed and on the road at 8am the first part of the journey went well, until we reached Hanover when as a result of two lorries coming together we spent the next two hours crawling at between 5 and 10 mph, it wasn't the accident that caused the problem but the drivers stopping to look and take pictures at the scene. Once clear we managed to cover about another 100 miles when we encountered another accident this time delaying us for another hour. By seven o'clock we decided we should stop, having been on the road for eleven hours, encountered two accidents, heavy rain, and thunderstorms, and we had only covered  400 miles. We pulled off the motorway and found a campsite in Westerhoven, a few miles North West of Eindhoven where we will stay tonight and cover the other 100 or so miles to get to Bruges in the morning where we plan to spend a couple of days. No selfie today as we have been on the road all day, but one of the camel on tonight's campsite for a quick over night stay.
