Dusseldorf Trip 2012 - Outward Bound

This year we finally made it to Europe's largest motorhome show. There is not a lot of point of posting a lot of shots of motorhomes that you can get from the manufacturers websites, but here are the best from our stopovers on the journey out there.

All the pictures were taken either with a Panasonic Lumix TZ7 compact or a  Lumix GH1with 14-140 zoom lens

 First stop was Totnes, Devon and a boat trip down the River Dart to Dartmouth.

We took the ferry from Dover to Dunkerque and then drove through Belgium via Eeeklo and Holland via Venlo to Dusseldorf

Around the Jacthaven are littered sculptures by local artists. These are some that caught my eye.
