And apart from a suspected injector leak allowing fumes into the cabin and gassing us, the van is running nicely too.

We’ve got a lot of stuff in the back with just enough space to crawl onto one of the bench seats for a nap.

Does anyone want a sweaty trucker ? Loads to choose from here in this random German lorry park.

Our glamorous tour of European truck stops continues. Now somewhere east of Leipzig and having some breakfast.

Nice 😎

Hopefully being in such close proximity to a BK doesn’t bring Gav out in a rash. 😬

8-) The wagon looks surprising clean (everything here's coated with Saharan dust).

Full moon tonight, danger of werewolves or lunatics at the truck stops. We should alert the lorry drivers :(

After an EPIC drive of over 1200 miles we’ve arrived in Krakow, leaving just 250km to reach Przemyśl near the Ukraine border where many of the refugee camps are. We dropped some military support aid at another town and they reiterated how much they need support.

Off to eat some meat and cabbage now
