Well what a whirlwind 3 days, we headed to Brighton - it is very funny what the English call a beach!! At brighton Darryl hired a WRX Subaru with an impeller drive shaft and ALC control (whatever that means). We then caught the Chunnel over to Calais. It was very odd being under water for that long - I felt like we were on an episode of Ocean Girl. And then we started to make our way to Poland to see one of Darryls ancestral towns, however it turns out Darryl wasn't really interested in travellign to Poland - he was more interested in travelling on the AutoBahn!!!
We crossed the Mileau Bridge and then headed into Germany. And that is when I understood the real intent of Darryl. He Hit 217 kmh after cruising at around 180 for a few minutes. And, of all things, we overtook when we going top speed by a Volkswagen of some sort (it was a convertible wiht the top down!!)
Anyway, after an hour or so on the Autobahn Darryl decided he didnt really need to go to Poland so we turned around, drove through Belgium and down to PAris before heading back to Calais andthe CHunnel.
And interesting thing, when we were at Australia House looking into Work Visas, we ran into Prince Harry and William (they were there for the bushfire thing). And we swear that one of them burped - they were just standing aroudn waiting to go onto a small stage and didnt realise there were people behind them. They didnt seem to care though!!!
