I had the responsibility of doing the first stint of the day and with much excitement we headed for Germany and it fantastic auto-bahns. Gertrude performed with flying colours and I managed to tease 113mph out of her. A quick pit stop and Dom took over, Gertie must of enjoyed the rest as he top her at 123mph :) great success.
Then on to serious stuff, looking for something to do/see along the route we decided to make a slight detour to the town of Dachau and it's memorial and museum to the contentration camp that was there during WW2. For me it was a very sobering time, walking around the old work house and one of the rebuilt barracks. Just the sheer size of the place was shocking and this was just one of countless camps.
Back onto more fun time, Bobs constant deflating brought us to get some expanding foam from a building merchants and much mess ensured as Matt and Dom wrestled to get the stuff inside him. We'll see how he reacts to it in the morning.
As we aren't allowed into Munich proper with Gertie (due to her emissions being filthy) we had to park up at Pasing and get the train in. Easy once we found the right platform, short walk from the station found us at the Wombat hostel and a very nice receptions sorted us out and was very pleased with the cowpat we donated.
Now into Munich for a few steins of fine white beers.
PS. we will either have victory or hatred from the organisers as we are sharing a room with them. Huzzah.
