There'll be no pics from me until after we get home!
Good day today, morning to ourselves taking in the sights of Bad Breisig and cleAning cars.
3pm meet in the car park for the cruise to the river ferry across the Rhine and onto the venue. Show and shine parade and a single Go Kart track with timed runs - seems like Charlie (Neil's son) got the best time. Scenic drive along the Rhine and back to the hotel.
Evening was a buffet on the Garden Terrace overlooking the Rhine and a few beers.
We've now all received our Treasure Hunt packs to do on the way to the 'ring, but it's all in German. Think we'll all be getting lost on the first page!!! Mitch, where are you when we need you?
Will be an early start so no posts until late tomorrow. Looking forward to 2 hours on the ring and F1 circuit with the 30k crowd watching!

I bet VL is loving the orange SRT 
Not much time tonight and iPod slow for typing!
Interesting day to say the least. Treasure Hunt to start but we only got half way before bailing out as we ran out of time - took to long to get out the car park! Got to the ring with 5 mind to spare and out for a lap behind the pace car - took best part of an hour due to millions of VW's on track. Second lap much better but still behind VW bus. I then pulled off track but managed to get redirected down a busy pit lane and back out onto an empty F1 circuit! 2 flying laps and virtually no traffic of both circuits - great fun.
Lunch provided unexpectedly and we were late to the party as usual not knowing what was going on. Afternoon more Treasure Hunt but abandoned due to morning.
Off now for beer and river boat.
Anyone got a power steering pump? Mines gone:-(

Firstly, PS pump this morning is behaving better and will be fine to get home on so no panic - thanks anyway!
Superb day today. We all did slightly different stuff, some stayed local, others went to the Von Tripp museum and we (with A & J, B & K) went to the Berg Eltz castle. Lovely 30 mile drive on very scenic roads in bright sunshine. Parked up after a trek through narrow streets and 30 minute hike to an amazing German castle set in a spectacular valley. Lots of photos, a good lunch and a final climb to the top of the hill only to find a car park right there! Still, ours was the nice route. Ice cream and back to the cars.
We then decided to put into action the plan we'd discussed during the day where Brett would lie down in the Ram with the back down taking pictures as we drove along the nice roads. Got some great pics after just a couple of kilometer and then we spotted the law waiting to pull out a side street. We passed them and Andrew immediately turned right before they spotted the body hanging out the back, but it was too late, they followed and stopped us. Andrew had to explain why someone was hanging out the back of his truck! Poor Brett knew nothing until he saw the police car behind. Luckily the thought of all that paperwork on a Sunday afternoon put them off, so they let us go... phew!
Nice drive back and a great Pizza and beer out with the remaing crowd. Neil, Nad, Adrian & Tony left this morning.
Brilliant day to round off a great weekend. Scenic drive past the Nurburgring and the B258 with a stop in Monschau before heading home.
See you guys soon...
