 The dutch customs office at Elten (Arnhem-Oberhausen) has been taken down
 as has the restaurant and the petrol station. There is still a parking lot.

 Yes we are modest and drive small cars. ;)

 When driving to/from Calais I mainly remeber traffic jams going east/north
 between Ostende and Gent and on the south bank of the Schelde  in front of
 the Kennedy-tunnel. I also still have nightmares of a Belgian truck dropping
 a steel bar in front of me on the motorway north of Luik.
