We continue our jaunt around Europe, this time, taking in the sights, sounds and sausages at the home of VW - Wolfsburg!
Aleisurely two hour drive lay ahead of us from Hessisch Oldendorf and after saying our goodbyes to the guys who were heading back to the UK, we hit the autobahn towards our home for the next few days, the Campingplatz am Allersee in Wolfsburg (www.campingallersee.de).
If you are ever planning a road trip to Wolfsburg and you are thinking of camping, then this site must be the one to go for. Situated next the Volkswagen Arena home ground of VFL Wolfsburg (who play in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league) and a stones throw away from the Autostadt, VW HQ and the main train station, it literally is slap bang in Volkswagen exploration territory. At a very reasonable €7,50 per night for a camping plot (Camper, caravan, tent, car) and only an additional €3,50 for electric hook up, its cheaper than your average UK site by a good chunk. Unsurprisingly then, when we arrived to check into the campsite, there were loads of other Brits and their VWs who had also travelled to Wolfsburg from Hessisch for a few days before heading over to EBI (European Bug In) in Chimay the following weekend.
