8th meeting of the K-UE: Hamburg and Luneburger Heide

Last weekend we (Elke and Brecht, Mieke and Seba and myself) participated with our beetles at the 8th meeting of the K-UE. Every year this meeting takes place in another city. This year we made quite a trip because the meeting took place in and around Hamburg.

We started our trip friday early in the morning because we had to join the 'convoi' that started at the home of the clubs president in Mönchengladbach. We started in Belgium with 3 beetles, already with 7 in Mönchengladbach and along the road the convoi became bigger and bigger. :-)

This year there were 75 beetles that participated at the the weekend/meeting.

The main event on saturday was a boat trip that allowed us to see the port of Hamburg from the water on.

On sunday we crossed the Kohlbrandbrücke, visited the Prototyp museum with the special exhibition of VW prototypes, we visited the MS Bleihen and the harbour museum.

On monday we visited the Luneburger Heide.
In the afternoon, the 5 of us drove to Ladbergen (some 250 km closer to home) where we spend the night.

On the way home (on thuesday) we met an old Fiat 126 that was driving on the belgian motorways without muffler and filled with 5 persons and luggage.

Pictures will folow soon.
