After a trip to the South coast to pick up my son, France here we come!

________________________________________________

Rest Area at the Channel Tunnel in the UK.

________________________________________________

France this way.

________________________________________________

View back to England from Calais.

________________________________________________

No trip to Germany from Calais is complete unless you visit the old Reims grand Prix Pits.

________________________________________________

Lots of People taking photos, a few drivers 'exploring' the speed limit on the long straight.

________________________________________________

There are a few old building and signs scattered around the place.

________________________________________________

There is free access to all areas, so you can get the photos you want.

________________________________________________

The old main straight is very long.

________________________________________________

While the Boys may like it, there are usually a few bored wifes / girlfriends around.

________________________________________________

View down the pits.

________________________________________________

The French toll roads can be very quiet.

________________________________________________

Every few miles there are many strange geometric shapes at the side of the road.

________________________________________________

The signs point the way.

________________________________________________

A tower of Smart cars.

________________________________________________

The Hotel in Germany.

________________________________________________

The Hotel is on an Island in the River!.

________________________________________________

That Night I ordered a beer, the barmaid said " Rough Arse? ". Yep they have a beer called Rothaus.

________________________________________________

Even better, fancy a Rough Arse pils?.

________________________________________________

Its a small village, but has a Cinema.

________________________________________________

The street furniture is stylish.

________________________________________________

And as is usual, in Europe, there are several Statues and sculptures.

________________________________________________

A couple of days were spent at Europa-park.

________________________________________________

it has the usual queues.

________________________________________________

and the Usual crowds.

________________________________________________

The Usual clichés.

________________________________________________

And another cliché.

________________________________________________

We went sightseeing around the area.

________________________________________________

When we got back to the car park after lunch by the lake, couple of cars had parked next to mine. I think they were trying to tell me something.

________________________________________________

Did a dry toboggan, they even had a speed trap that logged your speed on a photo ( which you could buy ).

________________________________________________

There's a reason everything is very Green in the black forest, it rains a lot. So make sure you can quickly add a canopy to your dry toboggan.

________________________________________________

As you would expect everything in well run and very clean around here.

________________________________________________

Saw a bear ( and Wolf ) in the Woods.
