Day 1: 16th Aug 2007 - Home - Frankfurt 490 miles

Day one, bikes packed and I'am on the road before 6am, as I leave the M3 and join the M25 the sun is just starting to break over the mist from the sewage works creating a strange orange glow.

Stopped for a full English breakfast at Clacket lane services, then on to Folkstone. I am soon waiting in a short line of bikes to board the train. You always meet some interesting bikers and we swap stories of where we are going.

A short train trip later and I'm on the road, a little bit of France, through Belgium past Brussels, into Germany.

The SatNav directs me to my hotel and I am in my room by 4pm. What a bargain, a 4 star hotel for £25 inc breakfast.
