Europe 2009

This is Cologne from the motorway services
Day 1 (Saturday)

Learned three things about Belgium :
  1. It's very flat
  2. They have a lot of cows (Fresian & Charolais if you are interested)
  3. Coffee is better tasting & cheaper than Germany

Germany has more rolling countryside & forests so is more scenic. Saw a few buzzards & some deer. Once off the motorway the villages were very pretty. Most of motorway was unlimited speed limit so if you are sticking to 70/80 mph most things pass you as though you are stopped. Got to hotel at 7.00pm & guy on reception handed us a couple of beers as soon as we said we had a reservation - you cant get a better welcome than that. (average) picture above is Cologne from the motorway sevices !.
