Great weather and the URGENT need for some hollidays
forced us to leave.

As i had no further parts (U-joint) to built in, we have to handle
an ammount OF STRANGE NOISES.
If it wont go anymore, we will have have to ask ADAC (AAA) to
pick us up and bring us back home.

Will tell you , how far our wounded A will bring us.

Looks like a great trip. We drove the Romantische Straße about 20 years ago, but didn't get east. Beautiful country and charming villages. Keep us posted!

Try to get some 4 point jack stands. Those cinder blocks are dangerous,

Thank you for your nice comments, which i really appreciate.

After a nice evening with Motorcycle-friends
in Gifhorn,
we had a short night.

Getting older, means to know that in advance
which
made me plan a short leg on ourDay 3 .

Heading north again, we passed thebig flat area,
which was caused by last ice-age.


High average speed and no more

Worldfamous "Landungsbrücken" (just ahead in his pic,
where your grandgrandparents might have left this continent)
