This last week we drove 2500 km in 4 days driving, 3 resting. We started in Coin, Spain, near Malaga, and got to Buchenau, Germany. The first day was 9 hours and we got to a hotel still in Spain. The waitress was pointing out a dessert to Mom, so she used google translate, and it said it was something like ‘Cream of Polecat’. We then drove another 9ish hours to a place in the south of France that had a hot tub, an excellent stay, although the outside kitchen was massive, the inside one was tiny, and the bedding arrangement was far from ideal. We got there in the evening, slept, had a full day around there, going on a bike ride. Then we got up in the morning and left for Geneva. We got there in the evening after another 8-9 hour drive, and spent the next day at CERN, a fascinating place but Ben and Dad appreciated it more than I did, although I enjoyed and followed most of it. Next was a 10 hour drive to the Martinezes in Stuttgart, some old friends from Whidbey. we spent a full day there as well, going to the Christmas market, and seeing the Martinezes. Another 4 hours down the rode was our destination, a stay for 6 weeks.
