First task the teams faced involved finding a car dealership and complete a few tasks there,Team Bravo headed to Bruges, Belgium and found a BMW dealership who were willing to play along. Steve from team Bravo found himself in a brand new M3 and revving the bejesus out of it (a similar fate befell a Mercedes in a German dealership. BMW technicians came out to see the circus Smart T Shirts (outside BMW Bruges) The route to the first hotel took the teams through Luxembourg via the capital on through to Germany. The first Hotel The Hochwalder Wohlfuhlhtel was a welcome place to unwind after the first days travelling, set next to a large lake and a popular place for day trippers....like us...sort of. Rooms were great and food and beer excellent!!! Maybe spent too much time unwinding (see pics below).

This was a biggie! 11 cars, 8 countries and 1700 miles. As per usual for a European trip we started the night before in Ashford for a BBQ (thanks Paul and Sarah) but an early night ready for an early start at our first rendezvous at Dover Castle.
