BeNeLux Time!!!

Thursday, October 13:

Today I’m up early again for a 3 country blitz. BeNeLux time. First up is Luxembourg and really just a quick photo op off the autobahn in a beautiful little town called Grevenmacher.

Then on to Belgium...and into the northern tip of the Ardennes before a mid-day historical break at the site of the Battle of Waterloo.

The Battle site is a fascinating place and it was my "historical significance" stop for this trip. Decent lunch too.

Then it’s back in the car for the drive to Cologne, Germany by way of the Netherlands where I get off for fuel (only fuel stop I forgot to get a photo of) and a quick coffee from McDonalds!!

Driving into Cologne is super cool because I can see the cathedral from the autobahn way outside the city. Cologne is great place and I just spend some time wandering for a few hours until it’s time to have dinner and beer with a part-German childhood buddy. We go to the Früh brewery and the beer and food are phenomenal! And cheap too!! Hotel in Cologne was the CityClass Hotel Europa Am Dom and was right next to the cathedral…in fact my parking garage elevator literally popped up right next to the cathedral…I was parked under it! Next to a Mojave/Havana (I think) 4 series!
