Today became a sad day: Our caravan was in the yearly general inspection and is absolutely unusable now. More than nine defects that impossibly can be repaired - it definitely was sentenced to scrapping.
Somehow this makes me quite sad... I always loved this old Lady, as I call her. Once we met a friendly Italian couple also driving a quite similar caravan, and although theirs was some years younger it looked older - they admired our caravan and said her make up is great, she must be a real lady. That's how she got her name.
Although it always has been a challenge to drive her, she has been sprightly and good-mooded and never disappointed us. Even when we had a tire blowout once she peacefully rolled at the side of the highway and accepted the new tire without difficulties.
I have many positive memories of holidays with her: I have stopped counting to how many places we headed, how many times we were on tour and how many miles we drove together. And my bed inside just was the best ^___^ very huge and comfy, I enjoyed every night quite much...
Somehow I just really can't believe that this shall end that rapidly now. I already had planned another trip and looked forward to drive her myself for the very first time - and now I will never have driven her at all. It's a pity that she "just" got 27 years old, she not even reached the stage of receiving the H-license plate...
I'm very sorry that this post maybe becomes a bit whining and is full of emotional stuff, but somehow I have a really close connection to this caravan... It feels as if a good friend is about to die, you have to watch it and your hands are tied together, you can't do anything against it. It's time to say goodbye now...
I'm not sure whether I will buy myself an own caravan later or whether I prefer driving by car or booking a hotel, but I definitely liked the holidays with her quite much~
At the end a photo of her in her best days - isn't she looking glorious?~ ^__^
Well, thank you for reading and see you~
