So today was more driving and another truck stop. But the good news is that the very conjested traffic of yesterday has thinned a bit and driving today was a little more relaxed. We also had another round of supermarket shopping in prepararion for our 4 weeks in Iceland. We have been led to believe that supplies will be limited and expensive once in Iceland so we are taking the opportunity to stock up.
I took a look at the coffee maker today and it was immediately obvious why it gushed water. See the photos below. There is a fancy junction piece in the water supply line (presumably to make it easy to connect) and that seems to have simply come apart during the stay in Germany. The thing was working fine when we left it last year, we guess lack of use is the culprit.
