Planning on going to Europe while we still have a little bit of money left before the wife starts her new job (100% commision based which scares the living $hit out of me...)
anyways..... What would be the ideal way to see/do as much as possible in these two weeks? A trip to the Porsche Factory is a must on my list....do I have to make reservations? Am I asking too much to visit more than 2 or 3 countries while over there? On the list for sure...England, Germany and Italy |

Here's some suggestions...
Fly US > London The subways in London are great. They'll get you within walking distance of everything. Places outside of downtown London to go visit are Greenwich Village and Camden Market Do some of the tourist traps too. If you haven't been there before, you'll like them Hotels are expensive and crappy, and so is the food, so don't say I didn't warn ya (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) No chance of getting drunk, cause the bars close at 11... Fly from London to Amsterdam. It's only a 20 minute flight (you'll be hanging at the airport longer than you are actually flying). I've seen oneway flights for as little as $40 We can pick you up from the airport and go visit Amsterdam (or you can take the train from the airport to downtown Amsterdam and go by yourselves) Take the train to Paris. It's about a 4 to 5 hour ride. In Paris you're on your own... dunno jack shit about Paris (nor do I care to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)) Rent a car and drive to Stuttgart. It's about 400 miles, and you'll enjoy the ride. You'll be able to make good progress on the Autobahn. Make sure you read up on european road-regulations, 'cause our "rules of engagement" are quite a bit different from yours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) From Stuttgart, you can head down south to Italy. It's about 750 miles to Rome. You could do a little detour to Gmund, just across the Austrian border. Either way, make sure you get off the highway, for some very nice "canyon carving" You'll enjoy the roads/scenery for sure. Can't tell you much about Itally, cause I've never been there myself, but friends tell me it's nice and the people are friendly. Try to fly from Italy back to the US cheers, Jeroen |
