Actually, I didn't want to drive that many kilometers, but all the campsites are still closed here.
Even a room wasn't available in town, now I'm standing in a camper place, it's not bad looking.
Unfortunately, I still had to drive about an hour in the pouring rain, otherwise the tour was very nice.
