Tina: We were going to stay at this site in Belgium but I didn't want to, so we packed up the van and headed to Germany. The Belgian Grand Prix is on this weekend and we drove past the Spa Francorchamps circuit. There were loads of police and crowds of people everywhere and long traffic queues.

We arrived at Prumtal Camping in the town of Oberweis in Germany. The nearest big town is Bitburg and this area is called the Palatinate. Paul parked at the entrance to the campsite, went in to see them and book in. Officially their ACSI low rate doesn't start until tomorrow but the man said it was no problem and he’d give us the lower rate. See, why couldn't that woman in Belgium do the same? Isn't it better to have a customer at a low price rather than no customer at all?

We drove round the site to have a look, something we suggest you always do, and there seemed to be a lot of permanent pitches and in places it looked like a refugee camp, so we decided to go on and look for something else. The next site was even worse, so we stopped and had something to eat, then drove back to the Prumtal one. The owner was so friendly and helpful and he told us where to go to find the best pitch, which was down by the river that runs alongside the campsite and is actually quite nice. The only thing was, there’s a road the other side of the river and behind our pitch was a large football ground where some kids were playing. We hoped after the weekend it would be quieter as most people would go home.
The sun was out and when it was quiet you could just hear the water running in the river. I spotted a black caterpillar with really spiky hairs all over it. Paul thought it might be one of those poisonous ones that fall out of the trees. We took some photos.
