Munich, Germany SEPT 1998
We were travelling at 130 mph when we came to this traffic jam. It took us 1 1/2 hours to travel five miles due to rubber-neckers checking out a single vehicle accident.

Two miles after clearing the accident we managed to puncture the tire going uphill during a rain storm. One guess who had to change the tire????.

We then had to dance with the rental car company to see who would pay for the spare tire replacement.

The beer hall was huge. Lots of people, lots of noise and lots of beer. They had a German "Oom Pa Pa" band playing and all the staff were dress in reproduction original costume from when the beer hall first opened.
