5 countries in 1 day

We decided that we were going to travel to 5 countries in one day and have a meal in each of them. So we did.

We had planned to hire a 3 series BMW or a C-class merc. Sixt in Heidelberg, the car rental place we were planning to use had even rung us the night before to tell us that if we went to Mannheim there would be one there for sure so we thought this was great. On arriving at Mannheim in the morning we discovered this was not the case and we had been 'upgraded' to a big 4wd, and we were also going to be charged extra for going to Mannheim to hire it and to drop it back to Heidelberg. After much discussion with the guy there we ended up with a B-class merc and we were off.

After having a light breakfast of pastries in Germany, we headed to France, where we found a patisserie and had some baked goods in some random small town that we have no idea what the name of was.

After France we headed to Luxembourg. We stopped at Luxembourg city, where we found a cafe and had lunch. Then headed to Belgium. We stopped at Malmody where we had crapes, ice cream and chips.

After belgium we headed into the Netherlands where we stopped for dinner at Maastricht.

We finished up by heading back to Germany to spend the night in Bonn.
