4 Countries in One Day 31 Mai 2018 1 I woke up to another warm and Sunny day in Germany. I had a long drive ahead of me so didn’t want to hang around too much.
Sunshine, Storms & Forests 29 Mai 2018 0 The TV weather forecast last night showed temperatures in the East of the country to 34 – but also issued a severe weather warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms, for a large part of the country.
Going East 28 Mai 2018 0 The Autobahns of the old East Germany are great to drive on: No traffic, with plenty of opportunity to go fast.
The Far North of Germany 27 Mai 2018 0 Today I went on a day trip with Renate, Uwe and Richard. We went as far North in Germany as you can go.
Itzehoe Weinfest 26 Mai 2018 0 Over the weekend I can enjoy not having to do any driving. A well earned rest. I’m in shorts again today as the temperature climbs to 30 degrees. No wind, no clouds. Too hot when it’s like this!
VW Factory Tour 25 Mai 2018 0 I had an early start today since I had to be at VW’s headquarters at 10:15 to start my guided tour of the factory here in Wolfsburg.
Mixed Weather, Mixed Traffic 24 Mai 2018 0 My first full day in Germany started with the realisation that I am more than half way to Itzehoe. Approx 500 miles down – just over 400 to go.
Köln (Cologne) Bell Tower 24 Mai 2018 0 Spent the morning in Cologne. After I left the hotel I went for a walk in the City Centre and I climbed the bell tower. Rounded off the morning with a drink at the Funkhaus Café.
Just One Big International Traffic Jam 23 Mai 2018 0 German holiday traffic all the way from De Panne, countless lorries, the first traffic jam was before I even made it to the motorway!
Safely Over the Channel 23 Mai 2018 0 Tuesday was one of those days on the motorway where one minute you’re doing 70, the next you’re down to 20. Stupid M25!
