European Tour - Blog 1 Across Holland & Germany in db quick time....

17 May

Off the ferry from Harwich and drove straight across The Netherlands into Germany, having decided to just keep driving through until we get to South Moravia in the Czech Republic, our furthest destination on this trip. We can then spend time slowly wending our way back to the Hook if Holland and home again on the 15 June.

Not much to report so far, weather been mostly sunny and cold but have managed to get a walk or bike ride every evening just to keep the body moving after sitting for most of the day! Doug has had his first wurst (German sausage) with only approximately another 1500 types to try - so that's him set for the trip. We haven't had a stein yet, too much driving, but we are building up to it! The countryside we are seeing either side of the motorway today (Wed 19) is vineyards as we are passing through Mosel country. Talking of motorways, this is a boy racers paradise with no limits, very scary for a right hand side driver in a big van-I have to hang out of the window when we join motorways just to make sure no-one is going to appear suddenly out of nowhere!!!


Gotta go and hook up, more to follow with some pics.....
