‘Cause you’d been rubbing them too much

 

Having weighted up that comment I feel it to be a bridge too far

We had a lighting storm and rain last night but is clear over the mountain this morning. Today we are travelling from Weggis to Lemberg, hopefully the scenic route 245 miles but there is possible rain later if so we will plot our fast route

Wel today was fun weather wise we went from glorious sunshine to rain to lighting to torrential downpours and back to glorious dunshine again! 

Just begore we crossed the border from Switzerland to Germany I remembered I still hadn't picked up a vignette sticker you need displayed on your windscreen for Swiss roads,  Terry had one so I followed him though border control an inch from his bumper and got though ok 

Then as if by total chance we were on the German autobahn for a stretch so time go see if the luggage is stable at speed again!    

The westy did a legal 110 mph 2 up with luggage  there was probably a bit more left as well  

(pic taken by passenger!)

when the rain hit we stopped and put on half hoods and doors, it surprising how much they keep out but only once you get them on !

Terry has got himself a stick for when he reverses now which is a great idea lol

We are staying at a lovely pub/hotel tonight in Lemberg built in 1872 so a few pilsners and off to bed

Travelling to Givet today 200 miles taking the scenic route north of Luxenbourg

Nice to see how smooth the car was at 110mph, not a bit of vibration.

Looks like you’re having a great time.

We have made it to Givet, just on the French side of the border. The day started cloudy then we had rain Terry had left his hood on I hadn't, bad mistake especially when I removed my wind deflectors and couldn't slott one if the doors in on the pin as it had become misaligned !

we dived into a maccy d's for a toilet stop and ventured on

We hand some great twisty roads going over the north area above Lexenbourg this is a lovely area to explore.

Terrys westy has developed a wiring gremlin when he's indicating right his rear brakes are flashing at the same time  ready for scrapping now with the rear shunt and all !

Lovelly view over the river from our hotel in Givet
