Stage one of my Road trip.
Arrived in Munich on a Flight from Cork. Paul picked me up with his lovely girl friend and took me down to his house on the lake. How much closer can you get to heaven?

To make the most out of being there I woke up super early and went for a 1km swim in the lake. Not as hardcore as it sounds though as there where already a couple of old dears in there splashing about. Its probably the best place in the world to retire, if you like swimming.

So from there we pickup our rental an A6 Avante S line, quatro 3.0TDI. What a car! Perfect for 4 guys to stoke up on testosterone and storm down the autobahn cross the border into Czech.
I was designated drive number two. Now being a South Africa I am obviously a good driver. How ever a number of factors where against me.

  • Steering wheel on the wrong side of the car
  • Clutch pedal missing and no hand brake.
  • Everyone else driving on the wrong side of the road.
