The weekend rush hour in Beijing is best described by a famous local snack-"bursting belly". The main road of the Second Ring Road has already turned into a huge parking lot at this moment. Looking from the overpass, the opposite traffic flows form long red and white light strips, which are completely distinct.
Dahong is always excluded from the dance at the night peak of the city, and stays at home alone like Cinderella. Only when the bell rings at eleven o'clock at night, will she put on the crystal shoes, turn into a beautiful princess and step onto the stage under the night. Unconsciously, this kind of life has been over for a year since the westbound ramble. Just like the vague halo of the night, Dahong and I don't know what will be waiting for us ...
Just when the monotonous night trip is repeated every week, the westbound rambling team was invited to participate in the "Zhengzhou Nissan Car Owners Return to their Mothers" organized by Zhengzhou Nissan, and became the first lucky ones. The organizer showed us around the assembly workshop, and also provided the upcoming Navarra National Six 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 their products. As for the performance of the new car, I think it's better to leave it to the market to evaluate. In the battlefield of shopping performance parameters of various manufacturers, Zhengzhou Nissan has been adhering to the concept of product reliability and will not be outdated at any time.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. What's more, it's a pickup truck heading for freedom.
The half-day activity was rich in content. While having a simple meal in the company canteen, Vice President Zhang Xiaoqiang of Zhengzhou Nissan and the leaders of the company were still taking the time to ask the car owners about the shortcomings of the products, hoping to find out the places for further improvement in the future. After dinner, everyone reluctantly took pictures as a souvenir. Mr. Zhang specially found me, invited me to take a photo with Dahong, and encouraged us to continue to fulfill our dreams. The engine will start again, and everyone will wave goodbye and meet again.
The members of the westbound rambling team in this activity are full of gains and immersed in their own happiness. Sister Dongma made a new friend, and Big V won the title of honorary car owner, while I once again enjoyed traveling thousands of miles with Dahong.
Say goodbye to the organizer, and visit the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain. During the visit, I read this passage: "The characteristic of Shaolin Kung Fu is to pay attention to fighting skills and based on actual combat. Therefore, its routine structure is short and pithy, tight and compact, with vigorous and rapid movements, flexible attack and defense, and unified consciousness and movements. There is a way to advance, and there is a way to retreat, in one go. Therefore, the boxing principle says:' the body is closed vertically, the steps are kept in, and the hands are in and out, either advancing or retreating, or rising or falling, all of which should be in one breath. If we say that 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, pay attention to attack and defense, based on actual combat.
Wandering around the Millennium Temple, I can't help but write a poem:
Chasing the wind and racing every day,
Handsome and handsome are better than Pan An;
Only after riding 71,111 li did
realize that she was from Zhongmou.
It's been a year since the wandering to the west, and the team hasn't assembled again for a trip. This time, it feels like it's back to the past, back to the free life in all directions ...
Back to our long self-driving trip-today we are going to bid farewell to Germany and go straight to Strasbourg, France. The journey is about 333 kilometers, and it takes about 3 hours and 41 minutes to run. The city is the largest border city in France, bordering Germany on the Rhine River. It used to be the focus of contention between France and Germany. It was ruled by the two countries alternately, so you can feel the cultures 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 is the capital of the Greater East Region, and it has two regions that Chinese people are very familiar with-Alsace and Lorraine, which are mentioned in the "Last Lesson" of Dude in primary school textbooks. I chatted with big V and unconsciously came to the German-French border. We set up all kinds of cameras in advance, just waiting to film the exciting moment of entering the country. Who knows, a sign was poked on the roadside to remind you of the speed limit of French highways, and then, there was no more, so I entered France-the Schengen countries really went abroad while they were open.
Follow Google Maps all the way to find the camp on the outskirts of Strasbourg. After Da V has checked in, he will enter the designated place and set up camp. Let's work together to spread out the mobile home.
I have experienced the RV camp three times since I entered Germany. Now, I would like to summarize the general situation of RV camps in Germany and France: judging from the location of the camps, I feel that the two countries have the same idea, and they usually choose the suburbs of cities and relatively secluded places. The surrounding ecological environment is also good, which is deeply understood. Fireflies have been seen in the camp near Nuremberg. Li Baike (a friend who likes zoology and botany) said that fireflies have high requirements on the environment and can see fireflies, indicating that the environment in this place is very good. Indeed, the administrator told us that the nearby lake water should be tested regularly to ensure no pollution. A good environment does not mean that there are no flies and mosquitoes, so you must prepare more mosquito coils and sprays to repel mosquitoes.
Camps are generally divided into several blocks: log cabin area, tent area, RV area, washing room (in the same area as toilet, 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). A cabin is similar to a hotel, but it is idyllic. There will be water and electricity piles in the RV camp, and some only have electric piles. Water is supplied centrally, but you need to prepare your own RV conversion plug. If you really don't have it, you can pay a deposit and borrow it from the administrator. Bathing, washing machine and toilet are 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. There are bars and restaurants in the camp itself, and carnival activities will be held on weekends. Some camps in France also provide tourists with the service of renting bicycles for sightseeing. Personally, it is generally close to the urban area, but the rental fee is not cheap. The local people living in the camp are 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, and of course, the more expensive it will be, but camping is much cheaper than staying in hotels (except for cabins in camps).
Dahong has a tent on his head. Once it is unfolded, he "loses" his mobility. It's the hottest time in Europe these days, 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. Once I met summer, I felt like I was in hell, let alone sleeping until I woke up naturally.
Get up and prepare breakfast for the couple. Before they get up, make up for the travel notes that have been lost for several days. 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 around the tent for shade since morning.
At present, there are 8,611 campsites in France, among which wooden houses and mobile homes are more expensive than tents and RV camping, but they are not affected by the weather. Although it's hot in summer in France, it's not stuffy. You can sweat thoroughly. If you really can't, go to the water room to take a shower. French old people generally like to buy an RV. The old man drives the car and the old lady rides the car (in the co-driver). Most young people choose to drive a van, and three or four people go camping in tents together. In a word, everyone chooses the travel mode that suits them best. Frenchmen, Dutch, Belgians and Germans are constantly passing by our camp. They are very interested in scarlet and think it is cool.
All day long, we just lazily stayed around the bright red to enjoy the cool. It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Big V and I decided to take Sister Dongma 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 took Sister Dongma to the swimming pool to cool off. Set up a gasoline stove, prepare the dishes and stir-fry them. Get two more dishes today, just in time to eat on the road tomorrow. Roasted eggplant, lettuce in oyster sauce, mushrooms and rapeseed, braised pork ... I'm afraid of being complained by passers-by again. Dinner was served, waiting for the daughter-in-law to come back and have dinner together, so the day passed. The RV camp experienced this laziness, casualness and coziness ...
