Folks

My e60 and I are going on honeymoon in around 3 weeks time. We intend to travel through Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, back to Belgium and catch the boat home.

Can anyone offer advice on travelling to these countries?

Oh, btw my new wife will be coming as well. Almost forgot

Well, Brugge Belgium is great. Carriage rides and rather nice city. You can take canal rides and relax.
In Germany you can stop in Rothenburg, a nice fortified city. Or you can stop by fantastic Orenhofen were there is plenty of farmland and bugs to mess up your windshield.
In Poland, Krakow is nice. The night life is great. You can walk throught the city at night and watch cars being ripped off. Kind of amusing.

Wooow, do you think you'll have any time left for your wife when you have to do all these countries?

Good idea though, combining the honeymoon with a fantastic drive in your new car

Have to's according to me for the fist part:

Brugge, Gent. Pass luxembourg and go into the German Eiffel.
Austria and Switzerland are very very beautiful, although Switzerland is rip off country and they don't take Euro's.
Oh, and in Switserland speeding is punished upon you with death penalty well not that bad, but extremest extremely expensive for speeding tickets.
Budapest and Krakow are much worth visiting, and the but here is that you'll need a guarded parking lot for your beloved car. Otherwise it'll be gone in 60 seconds and if you're lucky you'll find it where you left it without windows in it.
Be carefull, and enjoy your wedding and honeymoon

Yep, German Eiffel is quite nice, particularly Monschau....

I would of thought France would have been in your plans as well...some nice places to visit as well. Champagne country is on your way through toward here anyway...

The Eiffel is very nice and calm. I Live in the Eiffel. I would be careful of those speed demonic US folk. We get the demon out if us so when we go back to the states we can drive 55 mph again knowing we drove 155 mph over here.
