2 September ’04, Thursday. “Bumble Bee” is back !!!! As we left Lubeck, we started to hear from the engine compartment again and we just knew that we had to do something today. As it was, the next town we pulled into had a gas station with a garage attached. After investigating the garage, we found out that the VW service area had moved to the next town about 11km down the road. We didn’t like it, but we really wanted to go to a VW garage and that was the closest around. Acting really sick, “Bumble Bee” did what she had to do and made it to the door of Kröger & Partner VW, in Gadebusch Germany. I went into the reception desk and found out right away, that to communicate, I had to draw pictures. Now we all know how good an artist I am…. Well anyway, she brought out Leander Worm, “The” man and he took take the van for a ride right then. To make this a shorter story, they did a great job of diagnosis and found that all that was wrong was 1 spark plug wire was bad….”Please Replace All 4 Of Them”…….THANK YOU !!!! Not only did they replace all four of the wires, but they gave me a new VW baseball cap and Louise a real nice neck piece. “Bumble Bee” has just got to write the factory about these very fine people and their wonderful dealership !!!!
After about an hour, we continued our way towards Berlin. About 3:30 we both decided that we would rather stop early than go into Berlin at rush hour and try to find a campground. As it was, we stopped, in a little off the road village of Wustrau. That left us with a ride the next day of about 70km to Berlin. Now, Wastrau is a jewel….this little village is filled with some of the largest diameter Oak trees that I have ever seen. I would be wrong if I stopped there in the description of Wastrau….The buildings, the little church with the wonderful bells, the great little museum, and last but not least, the incredible lake that Wastrau sits beside. Even the little campground was one of the best and also one of the least expensive. It sits on about 2 acres of land that is the backyard of our host family. We enjoyed a night camping right next to the chicken coup…. We just knew that come 4 in the morning, the rooster would be waking us up. Quite honestly, we woke up ourselves about 7:15 and we didn’t hear the rooster until at least 8am. Well, great night sleep, great shower in the morning, and we have got to move on…..
Tomorrow….Berlin
