May 4: 5 countries, 1 day.

On May 4th we went through 5 countries in 1 day - so cool!

We woke up at 3 AM to drive from Ann's to Port Dover (yes, I saw the Cliffs of Dover early morning! It was beautiful!) and took a ferry across the English Channel to Calais, France. We then drove through France, Belgium, and Holland (note to Anne Bowering - I made up a new hand gesture thing! You know normally when people go "Holla!" ? Well, now it's "Holla-nd!" It's cooler.)
then we went to Germany. All in 1 day with Rory driving. For us in the back (Dave, Sophie, John and I) it was filled with lots of Sudoku, Ipods, and sleeping.

We drove on the Autobahn! It was so cool! Cars were driving.. so fast! Because it was after 8 pm! Like I'm talking 260 KMpH beside our 9 seater van.. which was going normal people speed.. in VERY narrow lanes. Scary but fun. And every time a car passed I would be like "woah. that's fast".. until I realized we were on the Autobahn. Anyway.

We stayed the night at a place called the Australian Motel in Germany (strange I know) and got an alright night sleep =)
