Alleluja! We made it back to Poland, and without any delays, surprise, surprise.

The cylinders have been really playing up on the way from Nantwich to Lincoln on Wednesday. So when we left Lincoln on Friday at 2 p.m. to catch the ferry in Dover at 10:15, we prayed a lot. :)

God answered by sending us a lovely rainbow - we took it as a sign from Him that we will be ok. Within the following 2 hours we stopped 5 times due to the cylinder not working... And, on top of this, we hit a couple of major traffic jams on the motorways... What should have taken us 3 hours turned out to be nearly 6 - we got to Dover with an hour to spare, nevertheless.

God has been working hard on Dale, while Dale has been thinking hard on how to avoid the problem. He seemed to have given Dale the solution - driving with high revs, trying not to slow down, if possible. It looked like the cylinder choked whenever the revs dropped - when we had to slow down in traffic or going uphill. So off we went through France, Belgium and Netherlands, like a lightning through the night! Driving at night has it's advantages - almost no one else on the road.

We did stop a couple of times, of course - for fuel, toilets and food, and - to pump up one suspiciously looking tyre, but only 3 times with the cylinder problem! When we reached the hilly part of Germany, there was a lot of prayer going up from our van - and we went through all the hills quite smoothly. I don't know who was more into doing miracles - the Lord, or Dale. :))

We got to Poznań on Saturday evening, after 19 hours' driving. We're really grateful to the Lord for bringing us safely home.

The car is ready for its next visit to the mechanic... except that now it has one very flat tyre - like a pancake - where's the foot pump???!!!

Thanks to all of you who prayed during our trip!
God bless!
