Navigation and forward planning not being one of my strong suits I found out that the pass is (for us to all intents and purposes) one way but that did mean that I got to ride on a car-train back through the mountain and from then on through the Alpen Pass on to a lovely overnight stay at the hotel and it actually snowed overnight YAY!!!

From there on in it was off to Fusen and 'Mad' king Ludwig's Castle (guess where Disney got his inspiration from!!)

A brief stop-off at my home town (and a surprise hi to a local XF) was followed up with a visit to the scene of one of the most shameful parts of modern history - Dachau

Back on the brighter side a nice steady 120mph cruise to the MohneSee Dam (of the Dambusters fame) and then back down to the Nurburgring (thought a better car than the XF was to be found here lol)

Finally on to Aachen a 1,200 year old cathedral and the largest piece of cake I've been offered in many years!

As an aside the worst driving I saw on holiday was by the Belgians - appalling!!
