Up after a very fitful sleep by both of us. Maybe it's the thought of having to pack up getting to us. Had a lovely coffee and French pastry at a local cafe before heading off to Epernay, in Champagne Region. Again decided to miss the toll roads and had a lovely drive through rural France. Lots of military cemeteries from both WW1 & WW11. Part of the way was following the "Route of Liberty" from 1944 when the allied forces liberated France. Arrived Epernay a...

Left Freiburg after a lovely breakfast that was included in the room rate. Headed for France dodging the toll roads but Ken got a bit confused with a closed road and sent us through a tunnel that cost us 7.90 euros. Arrived in Metz and even more confusion with road closures. We finished up having a really good look through all the pedestrian shopping malls but unfortunately we were driving through them. See today's photo as that is the street that we actually man...

With this in mind we consulted Ken the GPS and both came up with the same suggested route. It was a very nice drive around a lake (don't kn...

Had a look around and saw some very interesting and spectacular cars and bikes. They have added a huge big building across the road since we were here last and that in itself is worth seeing. We even got a show while we were there as they has a guy ride a trail bike up and down the sta...

My turn to write the blog so I will try my best to provide an insightful look at the day in Munich. Kaz and I started the day with a coffee and planning out what we will do which basically consisted of going to all of the Birkenstock shops in Munich. So off to the Hauptbanhof to get a map and have another coffee with me also scoffing down a Wurst croissant (for those not familiar with this this is a croissant with a hot dog in it) then off to the shops. The good ...
