I have this weekend off work. Basically from Friday lunch time, then back to work on Tuesday morning.

I am trying to think of things to do, and the current favourite idea is a European roadtrip. I'll be on my own (sad eh?!), so can anyone suggest some good places to go to? I've been thinking of driving to Germany as I have never been there before.

I'm going to go and buy a Tom Tom sat nav unit to guide me along the way, so I'm just planning on punching in the destination and setting off.

How easy is it to find places to stay as I travel around?

Thanks.

ROADTRIP

You taking the Scoob or another weapon?

First issue is crossing the channel.
Ferry - drops you in Calais, Zeebrugge etc, Hook of Holland, Hamburg.
Chunnel - Calais

Nurburgring is not far from Hook of Holland. Driveable in a day. Check out Sliders Guest House (Google for web address.) Friendly place, and if you go by yourself, just be friendly. I ended up getting 3-4 laps as a passenger for free... be wary of dodgy drivers; the owner confirmed he was safe.

Autobahns in Germany will get boring very quickly, plus its suck your petrol!

There are lots of cool places about 1/2 days drive from the Nurgburgring, places that look like Cinderellas castle, I think the area is called the Romance road; Brothers Grimm etc.

Mosel is a nice route, starting at Trier.

You should be able to get decent B&B accommodation on the fly (I did a motorbike tour a few years ago just going with the flow, no plans.)

I wouldn't go too far down south, as its a long way to get there and back.

Hope this helps get the ball rolling

No, it's because of a girl that I'm doing a 'Forrest Gump on wheels' in the first place, so finding another one is the last thing I need right now!

Thanks very much, I'll look into those things.

I'm going by VW tdi power, so Nurburgring would probably be a wasted journey!

Cinderella's castle? Maybe that's Neuschwanstein? I've always wanted to go there, so I'll look to see how far it is.

Ah know what you mean , I took off on a 600 mile journey to clear my head when i split up with my missus on weekend totally out of the blue. Guess it depends on how far you want to travel really. How about south of France? or the Nuremberg ?pretend that tarmac is your ex gf's face

I went as far as Goa. For two weeks though. Strange the effect women can have on you.

Euro road trip is a great idea! Prague too. So is Sweden, Denmark or Finland.
