German and Swiss road trip

[Zed 44]

After 2 nights and a day in Brussels visiting family, we headed for our first destination in Germany but with a stop off at Spa which would have been more interesting had we landed up on the days when they do guided tours of the pits, commentary box and race control. On leaving the circuit, I believe we drove on part of the old circuit towards Malmedy and Stavelot to pick up the autoroute.

Black Forest.






















Baden Baden





Baden Baden Casino






The wallpaper is silk and cost 1 million euros to redecorate last year and the gilding is 18 carat gold.



Thanks to Phil for routes and advice in the Black Forest.

Switzerland and the Andermatt Loop.

Grimsel pass





This lot showed up while we were having dinner. I didn't see any V10s among them.











Summit of St. Gotthard pass

Lady driver.







Iconic view towards Airolo from the summit




Vosges forest on the way home














Total mileage for the trip 2,117, about the same as going to the Scottish highlands for me.

Looks great, I'm hoping to do the Black Forest and some of the Alps passes next year. Do you have your route marked out on Google Maps?

Yes I do. Would you prefer them on the Tyre software to up-load direct to TomTom or as Googlemaps. PM me.
