Getting excited yet?

Here's a teaser...
EUROPEAN MEET --  SAT. 18th OCT. 2008-labyrint.jpg

You can see the maze, the restaurant just on the bottom of the maze, the car park and, in the far right bottom corner, the meeting of three countries...

Oh, and to the north-east of the maze, looks like someone's had a go at trying to create grass circles

Tell her that she can meet up with us in Koln and that we will take good care of her

Thanks Doc -- please note, I have been told that the antibiotics have side effects, such as forgetting to tell your wife to go to certain BMW meets without you

We did think of this once before, but it did not materialise. I think you may be the only person who has access to walkie-talkies and, if I recall right, Luxembourg has a built-in unit. Bring em along. Never know when they may come in handy!

Here's the final plan folks. Just waiting for 2 people to come back to me with final confirmation and I'll then send out the information document to all of you (it'll be with you mid-afternoon in any case).


10:00 ? 12:00 Meet at BMW Hammer K?ln-West
12:00 ? 13:30 Autobahn Cruise to Labyrint Drielandenpunt in Vaals
13:30 ? 15:00 Lunch at Labyrint Drielandenpunt
15:00 ? 16:00 Cruise to Slenaken
16:00 ? 17:00 Photo session in Slenaken
16:00 ? open end Coffee & Cake in Slenaken
Sat evening, open end Dinner in Maastricht
Sunday, 19 October Breakfast in Maastricht

Lunch & Labyrint Drielandenpunt
Lunch will be at the restaurant of the Labyrint Drielandenpunt. A buffet menu has been pre-booked, so we basically arrive, park and immediately sit down to eat.

The Labyrint Drielandenpunt boasts Europe?s largest and most modern maze and is located in Vaalserberg, just outside Vaals. Vaalserberg is noted for being the place where Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands meet, as well as for being the highest point in the Netherlands (all of 322.7 metres above sea level).
