Postby Poacher » Tue May 15, 2007 3:34 pm

As there is so much to get through and not to make the post tooooo big I shall endeavour to do it in stages, adds to the anticipation......

:-) Part 1 the beggining......

Saturday 5th May arrived :clap: , soft luggage all loaded onto the xx

Image

Mileage checked: 21258, oil checked: full, re-fuelled ready for the off.

Left at 05:00 o'clock Sat morning down to Harwich to catch the ferry, weather overcast/sunny.

Netman - Pan European
Poacher - xx
Kellarman - Deauville

We had to strap our bikes down in the freight area:

We had 'Mr Happy' as our loader, not happy with bikes loading, what a nawker he was :banghead) :banghead)

Arrived Hoek van Holland and unloaded by 18:00 o'clock and on the road, 330 miles of hard pushing :evil) to get to Hamburg.

Arrived at our destination 23:00 o'clock :P , parked the bikes in underground carpark, arrived at accomodation [friend of Netman] and were handed some beers, followed by some more beer then some german home made frikadela's.

This was most welcome, oh, the weather was very good, overcast and sunny and quite warm.

A well earned sleep followed.

Sunday arose, sun was out [t-shirt weather] used public transport including water taxi's to get around. Here are a few piccies:

The blackness is from the fires that burnt when it was bombed during the war

There is a lift in the remains, so we had to go up the 75 metres, and here is a view of the Rasthaus in Hamburg from the tower:
