A bit of the Berlin wall-a stark riminder to the stuff that went on here. I have to say though, that every person we met in Berlin was helpful and pleasant-certainly threw a helluva party for the world cup!

A museum near the Rhienstag (sp)?

The German Parliament (yeah you can walk up and straight into it-no police officers or bomb barriers

)

The Brandenburg gate- another reminder of the devide-used to be part of the wall

Berlin Cathederal- We navigated the 6500 miles based mainly on the church and fountain principal

church= right road

Fountain = Middle of wherever you are

Windscreen after 3 days driving

Krakow's Main Square

The MAIN road to Kiev in the Ukraine

Lots of the eastern European roads were just potholes joined by tarmac-absolute murder to drive, especially at 60mph +

Here's Odessa by the black sea (water was 24degrees

This is the only pic of Moldova I have- spent lots of time in police custody cause we bribed a border guard to get in without a visa

Downtown Bucharest-Fantastic

Inside of the Cathederal in Sofia (Bulgaria) and yeah, that is all gold...

My mate dave on the pull in Budapest....

a mad wee park in Zagreb that we chilled in for an hour after a mad dash in 32degrees heat

View from Ljubjana Castle

Luxembourg town centre-lovely place, much ignored by the folk who flee through it bound for Germany and France...

This is what she looked like after 2 weeks abuse, including sleeping in her!

Think one of the topmounts has failed as she rattles from the rear going over bumps, and I think there may be a possible PS leak too, but she's still running and thats all that matters

Post Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:40 pm

Wow! That trip looks awesome! Great stuff. Glad you had a good time and i knew the tourer would pull through!

Hammoj28-Damn you!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe, lol. Nice mini!

Yeah was about Ã‚£750ish on fuel, but thats only cause the fuel is 50p a litre in the east

see thats cos its 6 pot rightness, not 4pot ford wrongness

Yours would be a weapon for the western europe parts of the trip, but a tad low for the roads in the east
