Europe

The trip through Europe is a little vague almost forty years after the event. I am also unsure if some of the snippets belong in this trip or a later crossing of Europe. Here goes anyway.

We had arrived in Europe

Whichever way you look at it, we had arrived in Europe. We were on the 'Continent', mainland Europe. It was my first time. The very first time that I had ever stood on mainland Europe. It was the 5th June 1975. OK it has taken awhile for me to get here, just over 22 years old, but here I am, on a great adventure.

Pete and I had crossed the English Channel, the only sea crossing, with our truck, the rest of the journey was on land.
