13-4. WEAR AND TEAR

Our host Horst found a helpful workshop in Mainz that could fit a new water-pump right away. Adwin Janssen worked on the pump, told us about his motorcycle adventures in Namibia and 14:30 Green Car was on the road again. Adwin said it was not uncommon that the tiny plug for the pump burned away when used non-stop for so long time. My clothes also start to fall apart and my shoes was dumped in a trash-can when I started using sandals a month ago. To get fast forward we choose to take the Autobahn until the exit for the Eifel and the village of Hammer where we spent the night with our good friends Bernd Tesch and Patti. To return to their beautiful house in the little valley was like coming home, and Green Car got nice three-phase power, which it munched all night.
