After driving 1300kms in 3 days we finally arrived back in Lille. Because there were no campsites open we spent our last night at a Formula 1 hotel. It was a bizarre feeling being back in Lille after doing a three month loop around Europe.
We headed into Lille and strolled through their Christmas market enjoying some Glühwein and crepes. It was a nice, relaxed and festive way to finish up our holiday.
We got up the next morning and spent a couple of hours cleaning the van and getting it ready to hand back. We surprised ourselves at the amount of packing up and cleaning was required!
It was a very sad moment when it finally came to handing the keys back. The van had become our home. While it was never too much fun going outside to cook or walking to the toilets each morning, we had grown to love it and the freedom that it gave us. We will take those memories with us for the rest of our lives.
