30 june 2016 - Friends of the house

My friend Lind drove me a Westfalia from Boise Idaho to the OCTO meet in Long Beach California, almost 1000 miles and an incredible scenery… I drove about the same route a day earlier with car and trailer so I do know what i’m taking about!

The Westfalia is bullet freeway approved!… and is waiting at the shippers for shipment to Europe… Thanks to Lind for the pictures!

We had a lovely time besides the heavy rain on Saturday afternoon… these pictures will give You a small taste of a very wonderful and very British weekend!

The Lavenham church is a real landmark! This weekend it was like a VW land mark!
