On our way to Bremen

Sound familiar? Bremen? Bremen Town?

You're gonna kick yourself when I tell ya.

Rapunzel, Hansel & Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin?

Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Yep, those fairy tales.

Soooooo, anyway, that's where we visited this week.

Bremen, Germany. Pronounced "Bray-mun".

About 4 hours north of Hasselt, it's the sight of one of Grimm's Fairy Tales - The Bremen Town Musicians.

Jim had a business meeting there so Winslow and I got to tag along. More on the town of Bremen in another post . . .

I always thought London had the market on fog. I mean, they even have a coat named for it. I've not been to London, but I wonder if London has anything on the rest of Europe. We encounter fog just about every time we venture out and we even had to pull off and spend an extra night on our way home from our holiday in France due to the dense fog.

Anyway, on our way to Bremen, there was a lot of fog. This is 2 o'clock in the afternoon!

Also, on our way to Bremen, we took the Autobahn. I always thought the Autobahn in Germany was a single highway just for fast-moving cars. It's really just a part of their regular highway system. The speed limit is regulated in many sections due to high traffic, but . . .

along the areas with no posted speed limits, there appears to be no limit. The recommended speed in these areas is about 80 mph, but I assume you can go any speed. Jim got up to about 102 mph and that seemed really fast to us. However, we had cars pass us who were clearly exceeding that!

Here's a photo I took on our way to Bremen. The speedometer is showing over 160 KPH. That's the MPH of 101 in the lower left.

And here's a video I took on our way back from Bremen.

Did you see that were were going over 100 MPH and had to move over for that guy to pass us?!

More Bremen Town to come.
