Wonderful story and photos. I lived in Bitburg in 1968-69, and traveled some of the roads you did on your trip. I had a 57 VW, but often took the train.

once we reached a city at the waterfront, we where shocked as
the difference to Brugge is dramatic....
To me, some of them looked like cities in eastern Europe

Christoph, Thanks for taking me with you on your trip through your posts and pictures. My family came to the US in the 1600's from Everinge,Holland it was great to see some of the scenery from that area of Europe. Thanks again Clyde

Me to! One of my favorite things, while riding in a Model A, is watching reflections from the back of the headlights. Thanks for sharing your trip.
