No, followed the signs for "Holland" instead of "Limburg".

Great to hear you have all met up successfully DemonAV - wish I could have been there. Have a great time and try not to get the English too drunk
PS - just looked at the pictures - countryside around the camp site looks beautiful

We're back.What a fantastic trip.We adored every second of all of your company.In what parallel universe could such a diverse group of people all get along so well?It could only be Planet Bongo.
Hope everyone arrives home safely and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Great Trip - thanks to everyone.
Cake was delicious, thanks - what a way to spend a birthday
Enjoyed the 'Bongoy' - remember the faces of some of the locals!!
No 1 son reckons I've got a few screws loose, told him Bongos don't have screws, only nuts and bolts.
Pickies on disk in a couple of days.

Probably, the latest news from the BACK line...
We're near to return from our trip! (which only had started at the Tamowa meeting) Today are in Stuttgart just in a night-drive from the UK, departing off this evening. I merely forgot to belive that day would ever happen!
P.S. Oh yeah, today is the first day since July I'm able to post phorums...
