We docked at 10am and were back in the truck hold waiting to drive and start the second leg of the journey. We were finally let off when went through passport control with no problems. The actual challenge was driving on the wrong side of the road, it was very strange going around a roundabout anticlock wise.
After getting out of amsterdam it was Motorway driving from there, our aim was frankfurt before the end of the day, but you can't go with out having a problem, one of our wagons reported loss of power over the CB.
We pull over at the next services and wait while it is repaired.
Hit the road again for about 30 minutes before was took over a petrol station to refuel, God knows what they thought when they saw 10 wagons all in a line coming in.
Drove for another hour before we stopped again, Our chuck wagon (food wagon) goes far in front to choose a services to setup and cook food. On the menu was corned beef and cheese sandwhiches.
Amanda then took over from me with the driving. Our convoy leaders wagon later on broke down but the rest of us carried on.
Our day target was to reach frankfurt which we did around 20:15 local time, we are now ahead of schedule, we stayed in a Motorway Motel.
We had to park the trucks in a very small car park, which brought it's problems as when i was parking up i scrapped an Audi with the back end of my truck but with the special power of baby wipes wiped away the evidance aka the red paint from my truck
Everyone just laughed as all wagon drivers at some point have to hit some thing.
