Winterbach to Reims today. Started off badly trying to get around the outskirts of Stuttgart, got better for a while when we lost the traffic, but then the weather closed in and we were hoods on for a while.  Finally got them off again and had a pleasant enough end to the drive.  Yesterday's mileage was about 110 and today's about 325 so accumulative total around 3600.  Reims is rather nice !  To Zeebrugge tomorrow to catch the ferry back to the UK.  I will say a lot more soon about Romania and the Eastern Bloc countries - but I think it's better to let it all sink in first.
