We left London so ridiculously early we managed to catch an early ferry from Dover to Calais on friday morning. On route we decided on a couple of rules: Firstly no motorways, secondly no chips, no whistling (can you guess whose rule that is?), finally no rules... So far we've broken the lot!
This picture has a bit of animation in it - i can't get it to work in the blog, but if you click on it - it should work.....
On the way to Luxembourg we stopped off in Brugge, Belgium, bagging our 2nd country of the
day. In our usual disorganised fashion we arrived in Luxembourg without having a hotel. Called one up and by the time we got there all rooms had gone. In the end we lucked out massively and ended up in a cheap hotel with free parking - result (ask Miles about the hotel incident - its official - we are never going to grow up). The rest of the day was pretty much spent in a bar called Ange. The smallest bar and the best music in town. Luxembourg is a beautiful city - well worth a visit.
Since our plan is to make it to Budapest before heading to Venice we decided to brave a long journey to Munich - made ever so slightly longer by a 60 km detour.... Arrived in Munich found another cheap hotel 2 stops on the train from the centre. After a magic dinner of roast pork, dumplings and the compulsory cabbage in a very German bar / food place we found a boozer to catch the 2nd half of the rugby - nae luck England....Woke this morning to SNOW! Car is running like a dream so far - so lets see how well it copes in the snow.
