I’m interested to see just how many people read this.

Driving Back to Germany

On the way back to Karlsruhe, we went through a lot of scenic German countryside.

We went through a lot of scenic German countryside at high speeds.  This was the absolute fastest that we could get the poor little car to go.  And this was on a good downhill.  With a tail wind.

The storm we endured in The Netherlands followed us back to Germany.

The windmills along the sides of the roadway were eerie in the twilight.

To make it back to Karlsruhe, Chris loaded up on a fizzy drink from a rest area.

Amsterdam

After a cold night spent in a cow pasture north of Amsterdam, Chris and I ventured down into the city.  One of the first sights for us was a canal with boats.

No boat parking.

Super old school drum brakes on a bicycle.

These barricades were sprinkled all over the downtown area.

The outskirts of the Red Light district.  We thought it best to not take pictures in the district as there were many signs and large men indicating that this would not be a permissible activity.

Driving through Amsterdam trying to find our way back to the highway to head south toward Karlsruhe.  We only stopped in for lunch and to check out the downtown before we had to get moving.  Tina was due in Germany in just a day or two!
