After Paris, we headed to Luxembourg - not too much exciting there although as I previously mentioned - gas was very cheap. We then headed to Baden-Baden and stayed at the Schlosshotel Buhlerhohe - the start of the Mercedes Road Rally Package. Definitely a great place to stay. Right up in the mountains and an excellent resort. Here is the links to the pictures...http://www.geofoberhaus.com/mt/000766.html Paris - Day 2- June 10, 2008 Day 2 in Paris was excellent. We started out the morning by visiting The Louve. This place was huge - we only had about three hours and I am convinced be could have spent a week there. After visiting The Louvre, we had lunch with an excellent French law firm - great lunch and conversation and amazing macaroons for dessert. Then it was on to visit the Tomb of Napoleon. Not that exciting, but obviously to the French he was very important. We then had drinks with another French law firm...http://www.geofoberhaus.com/mt/000765.html Paris - Day 1- June 8, 2008 Today we drove about 4.5 hours from Amsterdam to Paris. Went to the Eiffel Tower and The Arc De Triumph and then out for some dinner. Paris is interesting so far. Tomorrow some museums and some law firm lunches and dinners - great tax deductions! Should be a great day - the weather has been simply amazing and tomorrow should be 82 and sunny. One week left in this crazy adventure!! Here are the pictures from day 1 in Parishttp:www.geofoberhaus.commtparis1index.htmlhttp://www.geofoberhaus.com/mt/000764.html Amsterdam- June 8, 2008 We had a great visit in Amsterdam. Lots of interesting things to see - the city was definitely warming up for Euro2008 European Football Championships. Had some amazing meals - one place was right in the middle of the Red Light District down a side alley - amazing food. Visited a couple great Brown Pubs - one of them is the oldest in Amsterdam. Great museums!! I also bought a whole box of Cuban Montecristo Cigars!!! Now I have my smoking needs met for rest of the trip. Here are the...http://www.geofoberhaus.com/mt/000763.html Wismar Germany- June 6, 2008 Yesterday we travelled from Berlin to Wismar Germany to visit one of my clients IT Gambert Gmbh. They make gas sensors used in medical, industrial and automotive applications. It was a great visit and we had a great lunch right on a bay at the edge of the North Sea. After an extensive tour of their facilities, we then had the opportunity to tour Wismar. Great town and not too well traveled by North American visitors. We spend the night in Bremen last night. Lots of exciting nightlife...http://www.geofoberhaus.com/mt/000762.html Berlin- June 4, 2008 Well today we spent a full day seeing the sights of Berlin. We bought one day all transit passes for 6.1 Euros and it was a great bargain. We went to see the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedachtniskirche which was heavily damaged in the war. They built a beautiful new memorial right next to the bombed out steeple (which is basically all that remains). We then headed up to the relatively new Hauptbahnof station which is the most modern main train station probably in the world. I saw an episode on...http://www.geofoberhaus.com/mt/000761.html Flat Stanley's trip to Europe- June 2, 2008 Here is the first set of Flat Stanley's trip to Europe - more to come. My mom got some amazing one's on her flight from Louisville. http:www.geofoberhaus.commtflatstanleyindex.htmlhttp://www.geofoberhaus.com/mt/000760.html The day finally arrives - delivery of my SLK 350- June 2, 2008 Well - today I had the delivery of my Mercedes SLK 350 and an amazing factory tour. Sorry no pictures allowed on the factory tour - to bad as it was very amazing - almost all robotic except the finishing touches. We went to the Mercedes Museum yesterday and learned a good amount about Mercedes and saw some vintage cars as well as some of the new ones. I rode in a Mercedes racing simulator which was really cool. They were given free rides in an SL 500 and the Maybach!! But the line was long.http://www.geofoberhaus.com/mt/000759.html |
