Eurotrip!

[riverrunner1984]

So for the better part of 5+ years my grandma has been talking about taking a trip back to Poland and Germany to see where she is from one last time before she passes. I told her I would go with her and drive her around.

Problem was, my grandfather has been on the verge of death those past few years and she wouldn't leave him out of fear he would die while we were gone.

Well he finally died Dec 5th of 2013. A week later we booked out Europe trip and are at the airport now waiting to take off.

We will be seeing UK, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and any where else our car takes us.

I will try and update this with pics as much as I can while we are out their for the next 22 days.

Wish us luck!

Calming the nerves before the flight!

Seriously such a cool deal. I wish I could have done something like this with my grandparents. They meant the world to me. My cousin had enough smarts to do this with my grandmother. So lucky. I always envied her for doing that. Good for you buddy. Something either of you will ever forget. Good job!!

Originally Danzig which is now Gdansk Poland. She was there before escaping a work camp with my Great grandma. She does know Breslau, said she was not there but her mom was there and had a good friend in the hospital there with TB back in the day.

[riverrunner1984]

So we were a half hour late landing and customs took about 1.5 hours. Finally got our car and were off.
I tell you, driving on the left side takes some getting used to and is def nerve wracking. Will post some pics in a few. Phone is charging.

Stonehenge is tomorrow and then off to Port Isaac where they film a TV show my grandma watches called "Doc Martin" on PBS. Fri off to London for a few days.

Can't wait for the pics!!

Actually the road signs are international as there are no words really except exit. Same signs were in Uk France Belgium Netherlands and Germany with exit being the only different one. Luckily for me I can speak and understand German so it's a but easier for me here.

I asked people in London what a few signs meant do that helped out a lot as well.

Did learn UK used mph and over the English Channel they all use kph

Forgot to post something the other day...
At the risk of having to turn in my man card for a corny post, here it is:

In Koln they nick-named the main train bridge over the Rhine the "love lock" bridge. So what you are supposed to do is have a lock with your and your loved ones names on it, lock it on the bridge and throw the key in the Rhine.
Kim wasn't with me but I did it anyway with an extra storage lock I brought with me and wrote on.

She is doing good. Def enjoying the visiting of people she hasn't seen in 20+ yrs. today is out last day of visiting people for a week or so as we are running low on time.

We are heading to Hamburg in an hour to see the miniature wunderland. Tomorrow we are off to Poland as that was east Germany back in the day and where she is from.

We are going to have to skip Berlin and Schwerin Castle as we are running low on time. We thought 3 weeks would be enough but time just flies by when you visit people.

The human mind is an amazing puzzle... It goes to show you that "people" can rationalize just about anything if you try hard enough... Given the right climate/circumstances...

When you have a few minutes read about the highly civilized Japanese solders and their actions in Nanking... And the well documented 20,000+ cases of rape against small girls in the first few months of the occupation of Nanking by these highly civilized Japanese soldiers...

History is full of cases of UNthinkable criminal atrocities...

It blows my mind too guys... AND it is still going on, right now in the 21st century...

The treatment of little girls/women/kids in Afghanistan/Pakistan/India/S.E. Asia, Look at the situation in Nigeria... SOmalia... Saddam gassing the Kurds... Hell, every night there are shootings after shootings after shootings in our cities... Pretty much nightly in St Louis metro...

Blows my mind...


ANYYYYYYYYWAY...

Glad you and Gma are enjoying your trip in the old country... Keep posting pics, this is a cool thread!!!

Yah southern Germany is my fav as well. The country side is so beautiful there. From what I understand Disneys sleeping beauty castle was based off Neuschwanstein! We only went to this castle and not the other as we were limited on time.

It was raining today and with Omi being 81, we took the horse carriage ride up which was a good time as well.

I'm def planning to come back for a couple weeks in a year or 2. I want to do the Oktoberfest in munchen! Want to take the wife here also and show her how awesome it is.

His personal residence tour is something too. He's got a natural cave grotto where he had shows performed for him, supposedly acoustically perfect. Every room in the house is gold leafed except the servants prep area, it was silver leafed.

I hope everyone enjoyed following along on my journey. After 3 weeks it's good to be home. It was a trip of a lifetime and I am glad I was able to do it with my grandma!

That was one long trip!!! Looks like you guys had a blast though. :thumbup:

How was the international flight? I've never flown overseas.

It was 10.5 hrs to London on a red eye. We flew united and wasn't impressed. Economy was so cramped. What was good was the on demand tv on the back of ever seat.

On the way back we flew 11.5hrs from frankfurt on Lufthansa. That was a good flight. So much more room and better service on Lufthansa. Food was also better and gave wine during drink service.
Also had on demand tv on every seat so I was able to watch 3 movies.

Jet lag not too bad for me as I make myself stay up to get back on track.
