Emmen

Wow. Just realised that it is a week since we've updated. Stand by for a couple of updates.
There's nothing really remarkable about this photo other than the washing machine (blue) in the foreground and the 'centrifuge' to its left.  The centrifuge is like the spin part of the old twin tub washing machine and we picked up this guy from a 'kingloop' (second hand store) last year for 20 euros.  Anyway, it's washing day and fortunately Belinda started when we got going this morning.
We planned on going to Emmen and staying overnight however the charts were definitely wrong.  We came through this bridge and headed up towards Emmen and then discovered that they had made a road over the canal with no bridge.  Not shown on the chart!.
Anyway, we did a U-turn and headed back and then had an hour or so wait for the brugwatcher (bridge keeper).  Apparently when you come from south to north you ring one phone number, coming the other way you have a different number to ring.  Who knew?
