Great European tour

[MAMOOK]

Hi All,

As mentioned previously I am in Europe touring in my Beat.

Journey so far -

Hull - Rotterdam - 1 night - Ferry256125622563
Rotterdam - Cologne - 1 night - Camping
Cologne - Cologne - 5 nights - Hotel
Cologne - Dusseldorf - 1 night Hotel
Düsseldorf - Brempt - 3 nights - Camping
Brempt - Cologne - 2 nights - Hotel
Cologne - Wuppertal - 2 nights - Hotel

Next I will head to the Munich beer festival for four days, then onto Innsbruck, Venice and Milan. No return date set as yet, will drive back home when I've had enough of camping / hotels / eating out.
The Beat is perfect for this type of adventure, can't be a better car out there for it.

looking good keep me updated on how many mpgs you are getting per tank and type of driving?

Nice tour, i did a similar one at the beginning of August (in a Renault Scenic with the wife and kids). Not sure if i'd be able to put up with the high revs of the Beat for that long!

Be careful driving in Austria, and don't get caught speeding with no vignette :awwww:

Also look out for the local's only zones in many Italian towns, there are big fines. Not that i now know both of these from bitter experience or anything...

Have fun!

The car is a dream to drive abroad. So agile and responsive. And the mountain roads with their twists and turns really suit the car.
