lots to see in Washington, Maryland and Virginia



This was an intersting bus in our campground.
It was custom made in Bavaria and shipped here 2 yrs ago. A compny there called Rotel uses it for Germans to come and tour the country. The go for 2 wks at a time. This one is from Washington to Toronto Canada, then they go home. It runs all yr. when it is cold it goes south and to Mexico. The intent is to give them a flavor of what our country is like. The bus has seats and beds for 24. The beds are like a tube or similar to a tain bed. There is a room on the side for dressing. The other side opens for the kitchen. All are expected to help with the work. The director said she and the driver are on 24/7 until they return to Germany. She has been here 3 months this time and doing this type work for 7 yrs.
