So it seems like mike and rock have done a pretty good job of filling everyone in on the broad structure of the trip. I'll just add a few reflections on memorable moments.
Our car almost "broke down" twice on this trip (ie. mike/rock were unable to start it in a gas station). Tristan and I weren't allowed to drive because of the insurance. Tristan "started" the car the first time by starting the car in neutral instead of drive. I "started" it the second time by moving the steering wheel before turning the key (thanks dad). We narrowly avoided the disaster of running out of gas on the autobahn. We were running on fumes for around 10 minutes with no civilization in sight.
The Haufbrauhauss was great once again - probably the best meal this trip. We tried to make up a few english drinking songs to seem less lame compared to the Germans next to us, but probably still came across as tools to them. I love that place and their 1L beers, can only imagine how crazy it would get come Octoberfest.
We never got stopped at customs once the entire trip. Damn ... could have made a killing in the import/export business, jks.
It's amazing to think we're doing Milan this weekend. It'll be nice to spend a bit less time driving and a little more time exploring. It'll be a different type of trip.

ReplyDeleteSeems like you are having a fantastic time so far, I'd like to thank you for entertaining me while I'm at work here in good ol' Canada.
