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!
