Journey to the West (IX) —— A Guide to "Dry Goods" in German and French Five-star RV Campsites

The weekend rush hour in Beijing is best described by a famous local snack-"Fried Belly". The main road of the Second Ring Road has now become a huge parking lot. Looking from the overpass, the traffic on the opposite side forms a long red and white light belt, which is completely distinct.

Da-hong was always excluded from the dance at the night peak in the city and stayed at home alone like Cinderella. Only when the bell rings at eleven o'clock in the evening will she put on her glass shoes, turn into a beautiful princess and walk on the stage under the night. Unconsciously, this kind of life has ended for a year, starting with rambling on the west. Like a faint halo at night, Da Hong and I don't know what will wait for us. ...

Just when the monotonous night walk was repeated every week, the westbound rambler team was invited to participate in the activity of "Zhengzhou Nissan owners returning to their mothers" held by Zhengzhou Nissan, becoming the first lucky group. The organizer showed us around the assembly workshop, and also provided the upcoming Navarra Liu Guo automatic transmission and Parasso test drive.

The workshop has just assembled a "commodity car" from the production line, and the riders have personally tested it, which shows their confidence in the excellent quality of the products. As for the performance of the new car, I think it is better to leave it to the market to evaluate. In the battlefield of shopping performance parameters of various manufacturers, Zhengzhou Nissan has always adhered to the concept of product reliability and will not be outdated at any time. After all, a car that doesn't leave its owner in the middle of the road should be the basic threshold for a good car. Not to mention a pickup truck heading for freedom.

Half a day's activities are rich in content. When having a simple meal in the company canteen, Vice President Zhang and company leaders of Zhengzhou Nissan still took time to ask the owners about the shortcomings of the products, hoping to find further improvements in the future. After dinner, everyone reluctantly took pictures as a souvenir. Teacher Zhang specially found me and invited me to take a photo with Da Hong, encouraging us to continue to fulfill our dream. The engine is about to start again. Everyone waved goodbye and met again.

In this activity, the members of the westbound rambler team were full of gains and immersed in their own happiness. Sister Ma Dong made a new friend, and Da V won the title of honorary car owner, and I once again enjoyed traveling thousands of miles with Da Hong.

Say goodbye to the organizer and visit the Shaolin Temple in Songshan. During the visit, I read this passage: "Shaolin Kung Fu is characterized by paying attention to technical attacks and based on actual combat. Therefore, its routine structure is short and pithy, tight and compact, its movements are vigorous and fast, its attack and defense are flexible, and its consciousness and movements are unified. There are advances and retreats, all at once. Therefore, the principle of boxing says:' The body is closed vertically, the steps are kept adducted, and both hands go in and out, or advance or retreat, or rise or fall, all in one breath. If one side of the soil and water support one side, then Navarra's character from the hands of craftsmen is probably the same. Internal and external training, focusing on attack and defense, based on actual combat.

Wandering in the Millennium Temple, I couldn't help writing a poem:

Chasing the wind day after day,

Shuai Shuai wins Pan An;

Riding 70 thousand miles,

Only then did I know that she was from Zhongmou.

Since the ramble on the west, the motorcade has not been assembled again for one year, and this time it feels like going back to the past and returning to a free life extending in all directions. ...

Back to our long self-driving journey-today we are going to bid farewell to Germany and go straight to Strasbourg, France. The journey is about 333 kilometers, and the whole journey takes about 3 hours and 40 minutes. The city is the largest border city in France, bordering Germany on the Rhine River. It was once the focus of argument between France and Germany. It was ruled by two countries alternately, so you can feel the culture of Germany and France at the same time-you can also see many German-style wooden houses in France. It is said that the French here also has a strong German accent, but I can't recognize it anyway.

Strasbourg, the capital of Dadong District, has two areas that China people are very familiar with-Alsace and Lorraine, which are mentioned in the "Last Lesson" of Dudek in primary school textbooks. I chatted with big V and unconsciously came to the German-French border. We set up various cameras in advance, just waiting to photograph the exciting moment of entering the country. Who knows, a sign was poked on the roadside to remind you of the speed limit in expressway, France, and then, it was gone, and I entered France-the Schengen countries really went abroad while opening up.

Follow Google Maps all the way to find the camp on the outskirts of Strasbourg. After signing in, the big V's enter the designated place to camp. Let's work together to spread out the mobile home.

Since I entered Germany, I have experienced the RV camp three times in a row. Now let me summarize the general situation of RV camps in Germany and France: from the location of the camps, I feel that the two countries have the same idea, and generally choose the suburbs and relatively secluded places of the city. The surrounding ecological environment is also good, and I have a deep understanding. Fireflies have been seen in a camp near Nuremberg. Li Baike (a friend who likes animals and plants) said that fireflies have high requirements on the environment, and they can be seen, which shows that the environment in this place is very good. In fact, the administrator told us that the nearby lake water should be tested regularly to ensure that there is no pollution. A good environment does not mean that there are no flies and mosquitoes. Be sure to prepare more mosquito-repellent incense and sprays to repel mosquitoes.

Camps are generally divided into several blocks: log cabin area, tent area, RV area, washroom (in the same area as bathroom, shower room, dishwashing room and laundry room), classified garbage collection area and children's play area (generally with children's play facilities and swimming pool). The cabin is similar to a hotel, but it is very rural. There will be hydropower piles in the RV camp, and some only have electric piles. Water is supplied centrally, but you need to prepare your own RV adapter. If you really don't have it, you can pay a deposit and borrow it from the administrator. Bathing, washing machines and toilets are all common, but bathing in German camps likes to be coin-operated, while bathing in French camps is free, but this is linked to parking fees and headcount fees.

Garbage needs to be sorted and thrown to the designated place by itself. There are bars and restaurants in the camp itself, and carnival activities will be held on weekends. Some camps in France also provide bicycle rental services for tourists. Personally, I think it is generally close to the urban area, but the rent is not cheap. The local people living in the camp are very friendly. If you want to communicate with them, this is a good place.

Generally speaking, RV camps are as star-rated as hotels. The higher the level, the more complete the facilities, of course, the more expensive it is, but camping is much cheaper than staying in a hotel (except for the cabin in the camp).

There is a tent on the head of Da Hong. Once deployed, he "lost" the ability to act. These days are the hottest days in Europe, so I nailed it in the camp to repair it. At nine o'clock in the morning, it was already hot in the tent. I was born in the coldest season. When it comes to summer, I feel like I'm in hell, let alone wake up naturally.

Get up and prepare breakfast for the couple, and make up the travel notes that have been left behind for several days before getting up. There are no trees around our parking space, and we rely on the red roof tent as a big tree to create shade-we have been looking for shade around the tent since morning.

There are currently 8,600 campsites in France, of which wooden houses and mobile homes are more expensive than tents and RV camping, but they are not affected by the weather. Although it is hot in summer in France, it is not boring. You can sweat thoroughly. If you really can't, take a bath in the water room. French old people generally like to buy a house and a car. The old man drives and the old woman rides (in the passenger seat). Most young people choose to drive a van, and three or four people go camping in tents together. In short, everyone chooses the mode of travel that suits them best. The French, Dutch, Belgians and Germans kept passing through our camp. They are interested in scarlet and think it is cool.

All day long, we lazily stayed around Dahong to enjoy the cool. It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that big V and I decided to take Sister Ma Dong to the supermarket to do some shopping and prepare dinner. When I come back, I am responsible for the preparation, and of course I have to match the ammunition I prepared in Germany-beer. Big V takes Sister Ma Dong to the swimming pool to cool off. Set up the gasoline stove, prepare the dishes and stir fry. Get two more dishes today, just in time to eat on the road tomorrow. Baked eggplant, lettuce in oyster sauce, mushrooms and rapeseed, braised pork ... for fear of being complained by passers-by. Dinner was ready, waiting for my daughter-in-law to come back and have dinner together, and the day passed like this. RV camp experienced this laziness, casualness and coziness. ...
