From Saarbrücken we headed north leaving Saarland and passing into Nord Rhine Westphalia. The two-and-a-half hour drive took us past the Nürburgring, scene of Niki Lauda’s infamous accident. I glanced over to driver Lee, then the speedometer showing below the speed-limit so no race influence here! Continue reading →

The alarm went off, it was 5.45am, and I was in a cheap hotel in Folkestone, its purpose only to get a car-load of hoppers to the Channel Tunnel as quickly as possible. I shuffled into the bathroom, and ran the shower only to watch the head extricate itself from the holster and hit my razor. The razor exploded in a spray of water, and I contemplated a hirsute weekend over a bacon roll and an Americano as the train travelled under the English Channel.

Ulm is the birthplace of the greatest scientist of all, Albert Einstein and is where the founders of the White Rose movement, siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl were brought up. The, Die Weiße Rose movement was a non-violent resistance group to the Nazi regime that distributed leaflets calling for the overthrow of Hitler between 1942 and 1943, until the group were arrested, tried and beheaded. A memorial is to be found on the Münsterplatz commemorating the Scholls’ sacrifice.
