Good shopping no doubt the new year celebrations will be good too.

I lived in Paderborn for 5.5years, loved it.

Have a good one! I'm in the desert so not much happening here

Yeah having friends there is great for me. The last Nurburgring visit I drove from my house for 1hr to Hull.
Got the ferry to Rotterdam.
Drove 1hr 30mins  to Munchen Gladbach and stayed there overnight.
Next day drove 1hr 10mins to the Nurburgring.

Nice easy relaxed 3hrs and 40mins drive from my house to the Nurburgring  :driver:

....plus the Hull - Rotterdam P&O Ferry is a great start and finish to the trip.

When I booked a cabin I got a 4berth Club cabin for only £30 more than a standard single  :jumpmove:
The Club cabins are en-suite and have a sea view and are located in a quiet section of the ship. You get more space and a range of extras including a colour television, telephone, fresh fruit, plus tea and coffee making facilities.

13hr mini-cruise  :smiley:
