We all love the task of today: finding the castle & mountain chill out time location close to Schloss Neuschwanstein. But before that a little road rally challenge ahead of us. „Easy“ 8 hour drive up & down the mountains. Lol. Today’s route: along the alps. The beautiful mountain panorama is taken by the fogContinue reading “Rally_Day 6”

Half-Time! 4 days to go! Today in Oberfranken & Oberbayern. Can anything go wrong when there’s Obatzda for breakfast? Daddy is “home” today & navigating without even looking at the map… that’s called “Heimvorteil”. The driving gang for some miles today. We turned right, the rest went straight ahead (and missed the control point?!). CrossingContinue reading “Rally_Day 5”

Rolling south-east after a quick shopping stop: Spreewald gherkins – famous for the area. Today’s route: Spreewald – Dresden – Erzgebirge – Fichtelgebirge crossing Brandenburg, Sachsen, Thüringen & Bavaria. Finding the “Blue Wonder of Dresden” – first challenge mastered for today. Last day in the East. Today’s day task is leading along the border toContinue reading “Rally_Day 4”

We got used to the beautiful north and we are already moving on. Zingst – Mecklenburger Seenplatte – BERLIN – Spreewald. Route of today. Waking up at the Baltic Sea, deep breath & ready for going south-east! Meeting our peers for lunch at the lake. Berlin in 15 minutes. Haha. Took us more like 2Continue reading “Rally_Day3”

We planned today’s trip last night (and it all came different today). We should stick with our motto: Last Minute Racing – don’t plan ahead! Today’s Bundesländer crossing: Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein & McPom – Germany in fast. Control points of today achieved: no.1 we found a Nandu in the wild. Yes! …and no.2 a white 4-storyContinue reading “Rally_Day 2”

We made it to the start line & we are starting the rally. OMG, it’s insane. We are doing this. This is our first rally. We think we are… NOT prepared. What we should remember: This is not a race. It’s an experience. We have to win. Lol. Our Start number: 78 We are theContinue reading “Day 1 – Official Rally Start”

Amazing what we achieved in the past 4 weeks. Mini Cooper 4 weeks ago… …and now: The Rally adventure for me starts already tomorrow (official start is Saturday). Still plenty to do. Working on the outfits: let’s see if we will be the only ones with proper driving gloves. Racing shoes (just kidding). Racing socksContinue reading “before & after”

Sadly we have to announce a change in our Rally team. Hubbies knee surgery was bigger than expected. The good news is that his knee is now better than before (all fingers crossed). The less good news: he neither can join the Rally nor can he move his leg for another 5 weeks… Even theContinue reading “The Team”
