Yes it was stormy. Today is the day we started heading north. At around 8am we left my father-in-law and set of to our overnight stop not far from Münster in Germany.

So what happened to the Portugal trip?
Well in a word, nothing. Since the end of 2018 I have been long term sick and my health insurance would not allow me to travel. So apart from a couple of short day trips our Ioniq has hardly been used. The last trip we made was for a week to Pisa in January 2019… Continue reading So what happened to the Portugal trip?
