I don’t know why I did this, but I waited until I had ten days before leaving to try and reserve a hotel room for my stay around the Nürburgring in Germany. Obviously, only two weeks before a full open track day at the ring, most hotels are rather full now. It also seems that most hotels and guesthouses have just one or two single bed rooms, with the rest being two bed rooms. Their single bed rooms tend to range from about 35 – 50 euros, but the double bed rooms jump up to over 80 euros very quickly.

So at this point I’m not really sure where I’m going to stay while at the ring. I had wanted to stay nearby so I could experience some of the atmosphere from the people and the cars that had traveled to the Eifel Mountains to experience motoring bliss. Now I may just settle for experiencing the Green Hell. I doubt I’ll complain too much

In the mean time, I’m just finishing up a few last pre-trip issues, working on a packing list, and counting down the days until the plane takes off. Ten days to go!
