Forum International Trip

Better had, Andy

 

Eash will ayn Beer. Sofort! Ahbear dully!
Ich will ein Bier. Sofort! Aber dalli!
(I would not mind enjoying a beer please.
But take your time, there‘s no rush...)

How‘s that for a start!?

 

Fellow travellers,

I try to note all your sightseeing inputs! The first 5 where a great start! Funny, but I am going to see some of these highlights for the first time myself

As I told Andy, I‘ll also be checking out some hotspots over the cold season and do some on hands previewing in spring and summer.

Just as a general question: is anybody interested in going to the Nürburgring?
It is an hour’s drive from Berti. If you want to race the ring, it is about 40 € per lap.
Sometimes pretty busy though. Nothing for the faint-hearted... I only did it as ‚Copilot‘ in the 911 of a friend.
I can tell you, the ring eats your tires like Gummibärchen. They do not call it the Green Hell for nothing.
You can also take a Ring-Cab (Mostly BMW Ms) with an experienced driver. Quite pricy though.

Let me know, if there is general interest.

 

Andy, Schnapps running out of your ears is standard protocol in Germany....

 

Some of the best historic places to visit on the Mosel are (IMHO):
Beilstien - well preserved, market square dates back to 1322 and no vehicles allowed! Cocham - riverside bars, castle and market square, Bernkastel-Kues - bigger than Cocham with a fabulous medieval market square and Trier - famous for it's well preserved Roman remains, bigger than the others but can get busy. Sadly the centre is modern as Trier was heavily bombed during the war.

 

Not that I can recall Wayne. I think the Mosel valley was spared most of the fighting as the American Third army (under Patton) fought to the north to prevent a German counter attack through Belgium and south around Luxembourg. They crossed the Moselle in France and the Rhine was the bigger target.

 

The hotel is 34 Kurfurstenstrasse so you must be next door!

 

Can't use the little orange "google map man" to look as the Germans don't let you do that!

 

I won't be able to make this now as it clashes with another bike trip.

 

This is a step up from a bunkhouse for the Forum boys!

 

You are probably on the wrong server. I always use the little black NSA-man and it always works...

 

I haven't got a little black NSA man - just the orange one. He likes France, Belgium and the Netherlands though!

 

Does he have a little moustache and side parting?
