Could not find the problem with the car battery and with a little help from passer-bys we got it running. With the car running immediately set off for a day at the seaside, this would also help recharge the battery. We headed to a resort recommended by the Thompson's rep, Scheveningen.
The first thing to go wrong was a road that sat nav wanted us to turn onto had a sight saying no right turn and this was the way we wanted to go. So from being within a mile of the resort we were heading for, we were on a dual carriageway heading the wrong way and it took an age to get back.
Then, when we eventual got to Scheveningen, there was nowhere to park, it was very very busy but of course it was still the holiday weekend. So we headed back to the smaller seaside resort that Ralph and I had found earlier in the week, Katwijk aan Zee.
Parked up on the sea front and headed for the beach, only for Amber to inform us that she doesn't like sand. So we went for a beer in a beach bar instead of playing in the sand.
Back at the site and at the funfair again, I think the beer had an effect on me, as I agreed to go on a ride that I had said "I am not going on that" earlier in the week. I think a went blind just before the end of the ride, with all the G-force involved.
That evening Ralph and I went to the "Irish Bar" to watch the UEFA Champions League final, between Bayern Munich of Germany and Chelsea of England at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Bayern Munich's home ground. It was very crowded and we didn't know who was supporting who. When Bayern Munich scored there was a huge cheer but when Chelsea equalised five minutes later, there was an even louder cheer. The game went to extra time and then went to a penalty shoot-out, which Chelsea won 4–3. We where late geting back to the van.
