2016-03-27b ??? trusty ???

Our VW Camper was apparently offended, that I have not given him credit that he awakens from hibernation, yesterday here in this project. http://365project.org/mona65/2015-plan-b-alb/2016-03-26
But when we started our weekend trip, for a few hours everything went smoothly until we where really far away from civilization, somewhere in the French Jura (Franche Comte)... the best place for a breakdown. :-(

Apparently a broken tooth band. Hopefully there is no other damage? Now he must piggyback back to the workshop. Since this problem was not to repair within a few hours, we travelled back home somewhat complicated. With a long ride in this tow truck, then taxi, than by train quite a bit, then taxi again, just in time to see the sunset from our balcony. http://365project.org/mona65/365/2016-03-27

So thats the story.
oh no!...how disappointing...bother... :o( ...hope it's back on the road again soon...rats!

What a shame, hope it gets repaired soon.

What a story. The next time you start out we will all compliment the Camper and say how beautiful he is, etc. etc. Maybe then things will go better.

Sad end to a planned trip. Hope you get it back on the road soon.
March 28th, 2016  
Oh, no! That's so disappointing, but at least you were treated to that gorgeous sunset. There's always, always a bright side! :-)
March 28th, 2016  
OH NO!! So sad to see your trip was cut short due to the attitude of your rusty(trusty?) VW. But I'm glad to know you made it back home safe. I'll cross my fingers that the damage was minimal and easily repaired.

And he looked so perky yesterday! Rough ending to a fun start. Hope it's able to be quickly repaired.
March 28th, 2016  
Oh,,how disappointing. Glad you got home safe though
March 28th, 2016  
Sorry to hear of your difficulties, but glad you made it home safe. Hope the camper is soon repaired and you are back on the road.
March 28th, 2016  
So sorry you offended your trusty, rusty pal! Hope he gets fixed soon. :-)
March 28th, 2016  
Oh no! How sad!
March 28th, 2016  
Oh no! Hope your problems are quickly solved
March 28th, 2016  
Oh my, hope he can be fixed!
March 28th, 2016  
oh no, so sorry to hear that your weekend getaway didn't go to plan! I hope there's not too much damage & you have your van back soon :)

@maree_sanderson @inthecloud5 @tunia @tonydebont @janetb @novab @milaniet @jgpittenger @fntngrma @jamibann @gilbertwood @thistle @nicoleterheide @leggzy Thank you very much for your concern. It is a pity that our long weekend did not work as we would have liked that, especially since my husband was since November almost continuously abroad for business. But, we must also say that it is "only" a technical problem. There was no accident, nobody is hurt,… there are real serious problems on this world and this is a very, very, very minor problem to speak so.
I'll keep you up to date if the camper can be repaired (or if we can afford it) or not.

No fun!
March 28th, 2016  
So sad to hear that your trip has been cut short, how frustrating!
March 28th, 2016  
Shame!
