First night away in the van

Yesterday Ragnar and I drove to Utrecht in the evening.  Had a stopover for a short walk in Vinkeveen.  

He's totally van safe now, sitting while I put on the lead that's attached to the van before he gets out.  We had a brief visit to Rianne and a short walk behind the Julianapark before driving up to the carpool place on the outskirts of Baarn where we lived on our first ark on the Eem.  I always like to see what's changed there if I'm passing.  

This morning up really early so we could get past Amsterdam before it got busy.  Another stop in Petten to check our meeting place for Carin later today. 

He still pants a fair bit in the van, not sure if it's nerves or just that it's getting warmer but he's definitely calmer than he was and knows to lie down before we drive off.
