We’re going to do an 8 km walk today.
This way.
A snack seat built into the wall.
Busy bees.
The coast looking towards Weymouth.
A heck of a lot of steps down.
Followed by a heck of a lot of steps up.
Time to leave the coastal path and head back inland.
Bumble bee’s breakfast
Today we drove to a campsite with a shower. In the South Downs national park, surrounded by trees and rhododendron bushes.
It’s a hard life camping.
Foxgloves everywhere we go!
Different landscape today.
Pine trees planted in the 1950s have been removed thank goodness.
Some of the older trees are simply amazing.
Nature doing what it does.
Gerhild is in there somewhere.
A forest duck pond appeared out of nowhere.
Not yet!
Today we visited the Goodwood Art Foundation.

The waitress’s grandfather made the wings for Spitfires, which you can book for a flight at Goodwood!
Leaving the white cliffs of Dover on an Irish ferry!
Calais has a terrific beach.
French graphic design- c’est merveilleux!
Banksy certainly gets around. His thoughts about Syrian refugees.
Just like Gerhild.
So many reflections about our trip.
What a beach!
Today we visited the crazy Verbeke Foundation.

The mushrooms are real.

I’ll have to look these up in Wikipedia.
Coffins!
Where did all of the flies go?
.
There’s such a lot of strange stuff here, you can’t imagine.
In the evening we checked in to Fort Bedmar campsite.
Today we just lazed around.
Today we drove through some heavy traffic, made considerably worse by the German police, carrying out illegal checks at the border to The Netherlands. Eventually we made it to Bonn.
In Bonn for €12 we settled down next to the Rhine in a camper spot on Charles-de-Gaulle Straße.
It’s a quiet location only a short walk from the Bundeskunsthalle which we will visit tomorrow.
21:40 and the sun sets over Bonn . . .
Today we walked around the United Nations Campus to visit the Bundeskunsthalle
There was an interesting bunch of videos on attempts to escape from the traditional way of life at various times in the 20th century.
A picture called Fidus’ Lichtgebet (Light Prayer) – apparently the life reform movements’ key painting.
A Robert Rauschenberg collage from 1972
In a second exhibition about building techniques this is a pavilion made of seaweed.
Not only is there a lawn on the roof, you can play crazy golf too!
After lunch we drove to the Haus am See campsite.
Nice day for a stroll next to the lake – much favoured by our feathered friends. They even have official goose-pooper-scoopers on the lawn here.

It’s a bit hard, but otherwise really quite comfy.
Cool clover
Ancient friends
And still full of beans
Long drive to Berlin through the sunshine.
