RHEIN ENERGIE STADION



I had a “gute fahrt” from Berlin to Köln “Cologne” It took about 9 hours and the autobahn was fairly quite. It’s another German city and another re-vamped stadium with a new name. The old Mungersdorfer Stadium has been re christened The Rhein Energie Stadion. The World Cup has certainly had a beneficial effect on Germany! After the show we headed for Paris, it was only 70 kilometres to the Belgium border at Aachen, I transited Belgium and hopped into France. The Belgium road surfaces have a lot to be desired and their relaxed attitude to coning off the roadworks is hilarious. In England miles of cones and contra flows with speed cameras and over the top warning signs are the norm. In Belgium hey’ a couple of cones will do the trick! In fact I think Belgium is turning into Poland or is that the other way round.
Anyway, we are now in France, the home of great cuisine as long as you don’t get hungry on the autoroute! Horseburgers are definitely an acquired taste!
