Few lines to bring my journey to the end.
Stayed in Valkenburg for two nights, hotel charge = nil. Included free dinner first night. Second night I insisted it was my treat so what did they do. All four friends dined at home before meeting me at the hotel restaurant, then watched as I partook of a schnitzel and mushroom sauce. They let me pay for the drinks but only when I ordered the waitress to ignore them. Great having good friends.
There is a sad bit here, one of the gang is in hospital with leukaemia, prognosis bad. Visited him Thursday afternoon, hospital park house cost me €1.20, much cheaper than here.
Set off for home after breakfast Friday, caught the 13:50 train of Calais which I left at 13:25 (UK time), expected ETA at ours 17:54. Lost over an hour on the M25, then lost another 40 mins on the M40. Arrived home at 20:00 Friday night.
Today drove the coach to a 1940s spectacular at Lytham St Annes.
Might be free now till Friday, looks like Edinburgh again.
