Wolfsburg, Germany

Maurice couldn't wait to get back to Wolfsburg after 38 years and Kev being the Kombi owner that he is couldn't wait either.  To add to Maurice's excitement he found the hotel he stayed in on his first visit and much to his delight we all stayed there again on this visit.  The owners had changed but we stilled received an extremely warm welcome and were very well looked after by Radi and his wife.

Maurice even made the local paper.  The picture shows him holding his VW passport with stamps from 1974 when he did some training at the Wolfsburg factory.  Despite being disappointed that he couldn't go into the school room we did go on the factory tour and went past the building.

We also went to the VW Museum which had a heap of great vehicles.  Amongst them was this one that Maurice remembers being parked outside the classroom 38 years ago.

It was great to see Maurice and Kev's eyes light up at the all things VW but I think the highlight was the stay at the Hotel Niedersachen.

 Oh I almost forgot we discovered our new favourite drink here "Kruskovac"

Cheers until next time.
