We leave for Bonn tomorrow and by all accounts we should be headed into sunshine. The 79 degree temperatures that are forecast for Sunday (our arrival day) will be something that we have not experienced for nearly 10 months. Sure, we had some nice days in April here, but despite sun and no wind, the temperatures were probably only in the mid-60's.
Our route is as follows - Drive to Hull, which is straight east of us here and two hours away. We just have to make it there by 7:30 when the ferry doors close. The Barcelona/Man U game starts at 7:45, so I hope to be checked in way before 7:30. From Hull, we have an all night ride and we will see how all of us do in the sleeper we have reserved. Hopefully the sea is calm and we don't need to go about collecting all the sickness bags we can as we needed to do on the ferry to Dublin. We arrive in Rotterdam at 9 am and then head for Bonn. We may take a detour to Aachen which is a town near a border point where The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany come together. At 250 meters or so, it is the highest point inn The Netherlands. We went there a few years ago and it is an interesting spot.
I checked out a couple of websites about Bonn today and they are all in German. Imagine that. The language barrier may be tough. We'll see.
