Day Fourty-Eight: Just eating and driving

This morning we were woken up by a guy with a leaf blower going all around the area we were parked which was quite annoying since it was only about 8am but what can you do. We had some coffee and got ready before going into Cologne to get some breakfast and do some supermarket shopping. I got a massive bucket of popcorn which I am excited to eat.

For breakfast I went into a bakery and got a few things. I couldn't tell too much what they were but one ended up being a tomato, mozzarella and rocket panini, one was a meatball bun, one was a tomato and pepper pastry and the other was a giant biscuit type thing. They are all really yum! We couldn't eat it all so maybe it will be lunch as well. We ended up driving through most of Cologne to get back to the motorway for Amsterdam which was pretty cool. There were gondolas which went over the road at one point but we weren't sure where they were coming from or going to or what they were there for.

We didn't stop for lunch, just ate more of our breads and snacks which were yum. It turned out that my massive popcorn is sugar flavour instead of salt! I added some salt which made it better but still too sweet. We noticed when we got to the netherlands that they are the first country we have been in where they actually have cows and sheep and stuff in the countryside like we are used to in New Zealand. All the other countries seemed to just have crops. Also there seems to be about as much water as there is land, there are canals and lakes and rivers everywhere here which is pretty cool.

We didn't see many windmills yet but quite a few wind turbines. Maybe when we are driving through the rest of the country we will see some more windmills. It was late afternoon by the time we got to the campsite so we just hung out there and started planning what we wanted to do in Amsterdam so we would be prepared for the next day. I had a yum salad for dinner with beans and corn in it and Quentin had a sandwich, boring! It is a bit cooler here but only like in the 20s rather than the 30s. It's still nice to be a bit cooler though!




Giant cookie!
