Bad times. 

It was all going so well until we tried to get off the Eurostar, starter motor decided to just spin until it burnt out, joy, can’t start the van.

We got towed off, bump started and were on our way again, we can’t turn the van off as we won’t be able to start it again without a bump start, feels like we’re in that movie speed!

It was all looking better, then this happened on the A16.


Hopefully nobody is hurt, we’re not.


It at least gave me a chance to call ahead to a vw garage in Bruges to get the van fixed, hope they can fix it today, we need to sleep in it tonight.
