Sunday 7 June 2009

Over the wet stuff.

After a the overnight downpour Sunday welcomed us with glorious sunshine. Leaving Guildford a little before 10:00 we were off to Dover and the ferry. It was a steady cruse down the motorways with a small detour to pick up some missing supplies in Folkestone.

The ferry crossing was uneventful but the car attracted plenty of attention as we were returning to it to disembark.

Naturally once on foreign ground the tech started to fail, first was the maps software that insisted on crashing at just the wrong moment. All i was trying to do was find a shell petrol station which it managed very well with a POI lookup but routing to such a petrol station was asking too much.

Still with the car topped up I took to the wheel through to Germany. Still motorway crusing on this side of the channel the car found its natural pace very easily and the miles just ticked down in a very satisfying way.

The evening was spent with some old friends of my Dad at a nice pub in Munchengladbach who had a special shnitzel evening. I had mine with garlic and herb butter which turned up with more garlic than butter, delicious!

No WiFi in this hotel so just a text post for today.
