Iceland pt.1 - Germany


Two photos from our Iceland motorcycle trip last year (at last).

France, Belgium and Holland were blitzed in a day, with a rainy night in Arnhem (of Operation Market Garden infamy) - so no photos to speak of. 

These photos were taken during two brief stops in Germany, on our ride up to the top of Denmark to catch the ferry.  The first on an overnight stay in the medieval town of Lubeck and the second from a lunch break in Bremen.

Despite the RAF doing a pretty effective raid on it in WW2, Lubeck still has more than
its fair share of beautiful old buildings, surrounded by the river Trave, it's a real gem to visit.  We passed through on the day the German football team qualified for the next stage of the Euros and joined in with the celebrations and horn beeping. 

The next day wasn't quiet so jolly (at least at the time), riding up Denmark in a massive rainstorm.  Photography was not a priority!
