It's on a train. To Munich.

I just called the geniuses to get an update, and was told that my car's on a train bound for Munich.

I actually checked the map to be sure, and found out that Munich is indeed in the opposite bloody direction from Bremerhaven.

As I'm not down to do ED, should I be concerned or is this the standard route? Or are the geniuses just wrong?

Probably nothing to worry about - the reporting system seems to have some glitches. It showed my MINI JCW in the middle of a lake in Russia for 4 days, when it was really in the Atlantic.

Mine said it was delivered to port and I was doing Ed. I wouldn't worry about it.

Robin, that's such a kind offer, I'd really appreciate it if you could.

It's the blue one.

AndyinHou Did your wayward car show up? Mine's at the port waiting for an escort across the puddle.

Same here, it got to the port on July first. The Genius I spoke to said to expect a 2 week wait before rolling on to a ship

In that case, I hope my 'genius' was being overly cautious!

Actually, can you let me know on here when you get a ship assigned? I'm on vacation in Europe, and it'll be hard to check in as often as I'd like to (i.e., hourly!)

Oh good, I thought I was the only lunatic who did hourly checks. Is insanity contagious?
I'll give them a call this afternoon and let you know.

I think we may have a stalker relationship forming. I was just in Europe myself... Perk though - you can always go find your car at the port and do a ride along back home.

Thank you! That's tempting (some of our friends went to the BMW factory today), but we're heading to Greece.

AndyinHou Ugh. They said check back on the 11th or 12th and it should be assigned a vessel by then. Yesterday she told me this morning, or this afternoon for sure. Why are these people torturing me?

Because the Germans are all on their holidays, and the Italians have taken over the scheduling!

Where did you visit?

Ah shit, I'm sorry you missed Madrid. Paris is fantastic, and my wife only has good things to say about Barcelona though, so you (hopefully) had an awesome trip?

AndyinHou I couldn't wait until tomorrow so I called with fingers crossed aaaaaand nope, no news. He said call back tomorrow. Anything on your end?

It was my second trip to Paris and we just happened to visit Notre Dame on hammer day. I mean, really, of all the times... we got separated from several people in our group when the shots were fired and they blocked off the square. I think I've seen enough of Paris now.

Yep, today's call was a bust, too. It's become a maddening game.

It was... not fun.

After this pandemic situation, everyone wants to rest a little bit with their families or friends,but no one knows where to go, because of the prices.Everything is expensive and unsure.If you want the perfect trip with your friends I can recommend you to try db fahrplanauskunft, because there is a lot of information about traveling and some interesting news, that can make tou entertained. The prices are very cheap and the sightseeings are amazing. I went last year with my friends and i enjoyed it at the maximum. Don`t waste your time, when you are still young, enjoy it everyday, like it will be the last.
