Run2Europe2013 Day3

-
No challenges today just a driving tour from Colmar, France to Naurath,Germany.
The route handed over to the teams to sort (day off for the Run2 Team).
During breakfast the maps came out and between Seb and Jaques the route was devised.

First stop on route was for brunch at Munster where Seb had to  translate order for most of us....



 We collected brunch then drove up into the mountains looking for a nice place to stop to eat.
 Convoy forms up again

Taking in the views


After about 40mins we found the spot next to a lake.


Boats not for hire (even on a Bank holiday weekend...French logic!)
During our stop we were entained by the Stu and Danny show (video to follow soon), we then got ready to move again.

Everywhere closed for business


It was then head north for the nights hotel....

Fuel Stop
Another check of the map



On our way through to Luxembourg for another country to tick

Luxembourg best place to fill your car up! Cheapest fuel station in Europe (also good for fags).
We leave Lux (giant service station of Europe) and we're back in Germany and on our favourite kind of road....The (unrestricted) Autobahn! Straight away the Bathurst and yellow 370Z take off (370Z read 160mph) but the real star was the 320 dieasel BMW with 4 occupants hit 150mph!!! There was wheel bearing noise from it shortly after.
Couldn't go too mad for long as the heavens opened up.

By this time however we were not far from the hotel.....and if Carlberg did hotels and brewed Zils beer....!
Brauhaus Zils Hotel and Brewery

The Brauhaus Zils hotel also had its own brewery which is the bestest bestest hotel I have ever stopped in. The food was great and the beer even better. Our host Albert was excellent and couldn't do enough for us, German hospitality!

As you can imagine it got a little messy that night but amazingly no one suffered hangovers in the morning. A few pictures below of the night.
















Day3 over !

Run2the80's(Day2)

Day2 started with a slap up breakfast (for those who could stomach it). The "Day 2" envelopes were handed out along with some very fragile Rubik's cubes (more on this later). We checked out of the hotel and all met up in the car park where we had our first casualty of any Run......Wendy (half of Thelma and Louise) had to retire due to back problems. However the other half of T&L, Judith has managed to form a new hybrid team....."Shocking Thelma" with Roy and Allison (formerly Shocking Blue). So with the sound of Frankie Goes to Hollywood reverberating around the Ramada Warwick's grounds we're off on Day 2. First stop is Kenilworth Castle, just a short hop from the hotel. Straight away there is some teasing problems with the "New Team", Roy gets to the castle gates only to find his 2 team members are nowhere to be found on their first joint mission. As other teams find the next number I hear one team member (Seb) let out a ...

Day 2

Day 2 begins with breakfast at the Exmouth View Hotel, envelopes are handed out and as they are opened and the shopping lists are mulled over I just remembered what I put in them. FACE PAINTING!!! was the subject for breakfast, some filled with dread others strangely excited by the idea of turning up as Spider man or a Hamster!?. All teams set off at approx 9.30am heading for Kingswear, Devon. The first clue took them to the Dartmouth lower ferry, as we took the higher we got to Dartmouth just in time to catch all teams in 2 waves travelling across the lower ferry. Seb as per usual could be heard on the other side of the river Dart then as he disembarked all the way through Dartmouth. Destination 3 day 2 was Cremyll, Cornwall. This destination split the teams up when it came to routes. Balls of Fury got there via the Torpoint ferry and as per usual were in "Stealth Mode" again (we were around the corner visiting relatives whilst they sneaked past), the other teams either cr...
