Alright - so it hasn't really started yet but it is only 4 days away and I needed to get something going to fuel my anxiety
I'll use this thread to report as I can along the way.
Nearly all accommodation has been booked through AirBnB so will be interesting
So the Itinerary (attached is a map)
Sunday 12th - Cairo to MUC via FRA - 10 PM arrival.
Mon 13th - 9 AM abbreviated pickup (chuck me the keys - I've been reading the manual on the App for months) then race to Rostock for a 1700 ferry (in reality it might be the 1900 ferry and head to Copenhagen Hilton where my family will have arrived earlier that evening. This will be a long day - but I am going to love it. Just me and the car to get acquainted before the family arrive.
14th - head to Samso Island to spend the rest of the week with friends who are celebrating his 50th (they live in Adelaide Aust and he is from Samso)
18th - head back to Copenhagen for a couple of days,
19th - Head to Rostock to get a head start to the week (and avoid the Monday morning traffic)
Mon 20th - To Karlovy Vary in the Czech Rep for 2 nights. Get in some spas and 'check' out the local area - looks amazing.
22nd - head to Nuremberg fro 3 nights. WW2 history and a friend's family brewery a little north are on the agenda.
24th - Back to the Welt - car is booked In at a local dealer for the 1200 mile service. Factory tour and Museum and do the Welt tour with the family.
Stay with friends in Munich (actually Eresing) for the weekend.
Sunday 26th - Head to Innsbruck to get a head start on next day.
27th - Head to Chioggia (Venice area) for 3 nights.
While there my son and I will do a day trip to the Ferrari and Lamborghini Museum and a little time on the Ferrari track in the M3 while the wife has a spa day and heads over to Venice on the ferry
30th - Up the Grossglockner and stay at a little place near Zell am See (can't think of the name - will add later - for a night's stay,
1st July (Friday) - Head to Liezen, Austria which will be our home base for the next 3 days while we visit the F1 at the Red Bull Ring. Check in and zoom off for Practise.
3rd July - F1!
4th July - Head out early to Salzburg - this day will be played by ear. We have the drop off by 6:30 PM at MUC and I really want to try and get in the salt mines and maybe the eagle's nest but thinking it will be too much- any thoughts?
Drop off and MUC Hilton
5th July - MUC to IAH all together.
11th - head back to Egypt for another 28 days - the work will hopefully make the wait easier
