Look what I found almost hidden in the Museum Workshop.
Sorry I haven't recorded the mileage. I will calculate when we get home

Re: 356 big European Trip
And I found the cheapest item in the shop, with Porsche on it. 7 EUR for a reusable bag.
I think that is my last visit to the Porsche Museum. We moved through pretty quickly as I was aware of most of the cars that interested me. I think for early cars the Hamburg Prototype Museum was better or maybe it was because, last time James organised a special tour of the Porsche Classic department

Re: 356 big European Trip
We were going to stop again after an hour at another town and Art Gallery but we got caught in Friday traffic jams to decided to push on to Trier. Car ran well and now save in a garage. Some hard rain but warm at the end

Re: 356 big European Trip
An introduction to Antwerp from a local. My colleague Sven works in Madrid but travels back to Antwerp each Friday. He was born and raised in Antwerp but married a Spanish girl. He took us through the Saint Anna Tunnel to see the town from another view. He also showed us the optical illusion that the Cathedral appears to get larger as walk away from it. Appears that it's because the tress hidden the rest of the city so you don't have a reference??
Back on the Ferry now so the adventure is almost over

Re: 356 big European Trip
It's been a treat!
Covered some of our favorite places, and some off our radar, so a good watch for us.
Car worked too, so a real bonus for all.
