Crowne Plaza Schweizerhof Hannover

So I can't really remember much about Hannover besides that there was nothing to see, nothing to do, the weather was bad and the campsite was overpriced! Dont get me wrong, I'm sure its a lovely place with nice weather and during the summer when the gardens are open which is where Hanovers charm is supposed to be. Wasn't our cup of tea so we moved on rather quickly. Byebye Hanover....maybe next time!

... to walk back to the inner city. We found some cool statues and a river that runs around the city Then we got some ice cream and Manny got Chinese since we had to wait for the next train to leave for Braunshweig. We learned that the cities in Germany are very cool places to explore and all have a similar set up, Hannover residents love to shop! There was a huge strip underground of just shopping areas that connected to the Hauptbahnhof and the U-Bahn.

... at Burger King..not terribly exciting but fast and encountered our first paid for but self cleaning toilet. As you finish and the toilet self flushes, the seat also self rotates and cleans! So hygenic..hehe
Anyways, now back to 9.45pm arrival due to dinner we just drove..it got dark but the roads were good and pushing on through we took the Hanover exit off the motorway and not far was the shining light of Hotel Amadeus. A blockie and parking in the Lidl car park ...

... since I had so little sleep and just trying to not fall over. We packed into a normal sized bus but had to load a lot of the luggage on the inside of the bus. Then we drove the 50 minutes on the Autobahn to Braunshweig!! We couldn't go too fast since the bus is not a Mercedes, Porsche, Volkswagon, BMW or any of the other nice German manufactured cars.

... full, was smoking. Quite takes you back, seeing the non-smokers sitting outside.

Yesterday we back-tracked to France to buy a 'Cube'. The only gas bottles we have seen in Belgium have been 13kg Total Gas in Total petrol stations. As soon as we crossed into France we were able to buy a Cube at the first Intermarche.
Drove 88 miles today. Very hot ...

Today was one of the longest expected days of the itinerary, and so it turned out. We blasted along the motorway out of Belgium, then through the Netherlands th Neijmegan (sp?) and Arnhem, the "bridge too far" town. We looked at the Airborne memorial and the nice little information centre, then wandered over to the street market for fish & frittes. Then into Germany and our ...

... bad English by the driver we got sorted. This is what traveling is about muddling through.

We were whisked outside to the plushest VW people carrier I've ever seen. Only 4 individual brown and black leather seats in the back with walnut fittings, TV, and bar equipment but no drinks, but then no trip is ever that perfect. I could have used a drink, the way we flew off onto the No. 2 Autobann to Wolfsburg and the Ritz Carlton Hotel at the AutoStadt.

My apologies yet again for the delay in this entry. My Internet is rather tempermental these days. It is finally up and running again, so I will try to finish writing about this trip now. Anyway, I think I left off somewhere up in Brunsbuettel. The small town was so peaceful - after this somewhat hectic week, I would love to be up there again right now, riding along the coast with the wind at my back... Although the Germans who live in the northern part ...
