Hello folks,
Well, we are home as well, a bit late and with a recovery truck, due a broken airco compressor and a busted V-rib Belt, but all fine.
So, it was a superb week over there. With loads of good weather and great company.
We did meet up with
@GeoCampers #4771 ,
@Glander #10404, @rooftopoverland #12315,
@Ferenc #8606 and
@vanlife4x4
Further there were loads of people we talked about Overland Bound and we did spread the word.
The persons of this weekend are Ferenc and his Girlfriend Eveline, And Jochen. A man from 71 who drove all kind of cars over the world.
If all goes according plan he will guide us through the desert of Marokko in 2020.
The Event was again wonderful, slightly dissapointed was the totally abcenty of UK members, and the Europe Ambassador. Or even
@Corrie and
@Michael .
The biggest event in the world and we were so alone
Then again, it was still superb.
Here some pictures of it all.
Tuesdaymorning, no one there, at least it was fairly empty.
Overland Bound Base Camp.
Here you see Jochens Truck
Still all empty. This is by the way, campsite nr 1. There are 4 of them.
Tuesday afternoon.
And it is going to be a great evening. Good talks and very confusing due languages, we spoke German, Dutch, English in Random Order.
Friends and co visitors of the event were mingling just fine
And the site was crowded on the wednessday evening.
Food corner, with all kind of food and ways to prepare it.
And all kind of sleeping spots
I made a Damper, it was great

Much better. I was serious at that moment. More or less

Well, all good things come to an end, so this as well. We drove home with a broken airco compressor so we hope to get home. We did, but on the back of a recovery truck.
V-rib belt was down and so even with a perfect running engine, we couldnt drive due the loss of power to the altenator, water pump and power steering.
But we are home, and we are feeling happy that we will have found new friends and loads of interesting people who will join us on our trips through Europe an Africa.
Next year we hope to have a bigger Overland Bound Base Camp.
