2018 Euro Alpine Road Trip

Day 8 - It takes how long to get through the German border?

Staying in a hotel close to the Nocklam Pass and starting at 9am, meant we had the road to ourselves! Until we got to the top when some cows decided to block the way down

The summit

The view

From there we head towards Germany over a few minor and our last passes of the trip

Leaving the mountains behind we get stuck in a traffic jam that takes us an hour to drive 6 miles. We finally discover the cause, German border patrol. A quick chat with the officer and we're on our way on the Autobahn. A few miles after the border and we see everybody's favourite sign, yup, the derestricted sign! Foot down and 150mph on the speedo. Doing 150mph means we can arrive at the final hotel for some.....can you guess?

Yup, ice cold beer!

And more breaded pork

As a side note; cheap Chinese centre caps do not like 150mph! I lost 3!

Total driving time (including stops/fuel ups/etc) - 8.5 hours / 331 miles
