    The Europe Trip '05
20th July Amsterdam   21st July Amsterdam    

Well I did 2712 miles, pretty much incident free. Some overheating on hills when at speed and a bit of brake fade and burning smells on some pretty silly hills. I did manage to ‘find’ a small, but sturdy, gate post which took out an indicator and the reversing light, but that was it. I also managed to just make to the ferry terminal after a few hours driving with only a >half hour to spare, a small amount of panic was creeping in and it was the only time I actually beat Autoroute. Oh yeah and 1014 photo's later, here is this page.

So, we did 8 countries and definitely need to do some of them again. Took over a thousand photo’s and drank shed loads of beer, is the brief summary of the trip. The running order of countries was as follows: 

UK

Holland

Germany

Austria

Lechtenstein

Switzerland

France

Germany

Luxembourg

Belgium

Holland

UK

 

Highlights were:

 

German Beer

Munich

Austria in general, although no the horse flies!

White water rafting

French choice of food/booze

Saarburg (Mosel and Saar Valley)

Luxembourg

 

Pretty much all of them will need revisiting at some point!
