Re: Germany 2011
Thanks all for the nice comments 
I've been here a week already, and where we are living, (Weilheim), is a most beautiful place. The view of the Alb, and the Teck never gets boring.
It was 39c last Tuesday, and that was in the shade, fantastic!!! I think I will get on quite well here.
I start my language course in a few weeks, so hopefully that will be good.
Getting here was a nightmare though. We drove all the way from Sheffield in a Smart car!!!! As we got to the ferry at Dover, just about to board and the car door broke, well, the cable that goes from the locking mechanism to the handle you use to open broke, which meant we couldn't keep the door closed, and with a dog that cant roam free on a ferry, that wasn't a good thing. The ship guys gave us some rope to use, and we managed to secure the car.
We got near to Luxembourg and the car started to die on us. It hardly had power, and a car like the Smart which doesn't have power anyway, to lose more was shocking! Little inclines on the motorways were even too much to handle, and we had to drive on the hard shoulder with the hazard warnings on.
We managed to find a Smart centre in Luxembourg, and they were some of the the nicest people we've ever met.
Turns out there was a fucked spark plug, which basically demobilised the car power wise, and there is some kind of problem which caused the plug to fuck up.
They replaced the plug, and we managed to get to Germany in 24hrs!!! The car now seems to run fine!!!
Edit: It is around 17° now and Michael starts freezing... talk about forgetting English weather in no time! Cheers, Kat
