we got off the ferry and headed for BBT in Belgium .
we were not far across the boarder into Belgium when pete said that we would need to get petrol
and yes a few minuets later we ran out. and this time Britt it was pouring rain
:lol:
so pete headed off in search of fuel . while he was away i tried to flag down any passing motorist
but all they did was drive on past . which was abit dissapointing when a oval bug passed then a notch and then a T25 all english reg and all going to the same place :helpme:
pete got back but had no luck getting any fuel so he decided to walk to the nearest petrol station .he hadnt walked far when a car stopped and picked him up . took him to the station and brought him back :D.
so in whent the fuel and off we went again

after driving through pouring rain (with no wipers LOL) thunder and lightening we arrived at BBT
there were vws parked all over what is basically an industrial estate so we picked a spot and put up the tent .
we didnt bother to peg it down or use the guy lines . that night it PISSED down and the tent leaked .
i was woken up to pete saying that he was getting wet :D at this point i was still nice and dry but not long after the water started flooding my sleeping bug :mad: so i got up and went off taking pics
