Hi all, earlier in the year me, my brother and my parents spent 2 weeks travelling round Europe. Me in the Golf, my brother on his Honda VFR and my parents on my Dads Honda Goldwing. We went from Newcastle to Amsterdam, then from Holland to Germany (visiting the Nordschleife naturally), Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg and Belgium before returning to Amsterdam. Needless to say it was a trip of a lifetime and Id recommend it to anyone.
I covered 3500 miles in those 2 weeks and apart from an oil top up in Northern Italy, the Golf didnt skip a beat. We took hundreds of photos and I thought Id share some of the better ones with you guys! Hope you like them
Getting ready for the off at our home in Teesside
Waiting for the ferry at Newcastle
Me at the ring. I did do a lap but with it being the first time and having never seen videos or driven it on a games console the lap was abysmal (around 13 mins!!! lol)
One of the many services stop offs going from the Ring to Austria
A couple of close ups of Dads GL1800
Cochem, Germany
Finding our way through a German village
Austria in sight!
We visited Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria before crossing the German/Austrian border, this place was impressive and well worth a visit
Austria
Driving from Austria to Italy (and briefly through Switzerland)
We spent a day in Venice which was nice, the Pope was in town on the same day so it was a lot busier than usual
From Italy to Switzerland, probably the most impressive country of the trip
Last day in Amsterdam
Thanks for looking and im sorry if your PC/Laptop/Smartphone just had a heart attack processing all those pics!
