Road trips

**hamburger68** · 03-14-2010, 04:58 AM

i thought it might be fun to start a thread with pics from road trips we take with our cars.

last tuesday i went to wismar, a town at the baltic sea, had a business meeting there. 90 minute drive, beautiful weather. little traffic, 110mph on cruise control. got bored, took some pics.

first time i went there, the city is unesco world cultural heritage. a lot of buildings from 1400 or earlier, stunning.

Great idea. It'll be a few weeks before I can even think about getting our car out. Would like to get over your way some day -- I was born just outside Bitburg AFB and grew up watching my parents' slide shows from the years my father was stationed there. Beautiful country!

It would increase my top speed from ~75 to ~120!!!

All of you have been to amazing places and taken awesome pictures

Pecha's pics bring back memories -- honeymooned in Monterey back in '99 and we took a daylong drive down the coastal highway. Incredible scenery!

found some more: european tour 2005!

we went across the alps into italy, at san bernardino pass...

to milan...

**hamburger68** · 03-16-2010, 01:46 PM

then along the mediterranian coast through monaco/ monte carlo into france.

that last pic was taken from our hotel room in nice.

next was the camargue and the stunning town of aigues-mortes, a perfectly square fortress in the middle of nowhere:

our hotel was from the 17th century, when the town was built by a french king who wanted a harbour...

**hamburger68** · 03-16-2010, 01:53 PM

...and off to spain: tarragona, south of barcelona. couple of roman ruins and a ricer meet!

back to germany through france and belgium: first the loire, pretty castles and that little church from the middle ages, 9th century.

paris...

oscar wilde's grave, the little dots are kisses, lipstick!

on the way out we passed the arc de triomphe, circled it three times. driving a camaro through paris is an interesting experiance, scooters and bikes everywhere and the french are driving like crazy.
