Europe 2013, blog 3\/3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our last leg of the vacation took us to vacation park Erperheide in Belgium, where dad rented a few bungalows for us to come together for his 95th birthday. It was also a good opportunity to invite friends to come visit us, as we were only one hour away from both our hometowns. We finished this vacation in Bottrop before flying back home from D\u00fcsseldorf again.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our way to the vacation park in Belgium, we took a break at a big rest stop (Rastst\u00e4tte Brohltal) on the German autobahn. We were confronted again with having to pay for toilet use, something we’re not used to anymore in Canada. These days they even have an automated pay system for the toilet area (see pics). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After crossing the border, we made the only stop in the Netherlands in this vacation. To visit Chantal, Roald and the kids, esp. to see their newest addition Avalon. Too cute! Chantal’s brother Theo also popped by.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
