Got up at a reasonable time of 7:15 local time (Germany is an hour in front to the UK) a very fresh start.
Our picked departure time was 8:30 but had to load the cases and refuel the truck within this time.
Also found out that one of the older drivers hit a bolder when reversing and ripped the front bumper off, you see not just me
We then hit the Motorway again and had to listen to Amanda sing!! (thank god for cotten wool) then played I Spy over the CB Radio, very entertaining and then Guess that tune!
It was all going well until a police car came past our wagon (yes i was driving) and started to check us out, (not good) he speed off to the front off the convoy and put his lights on to pull over!
He made us pull into the smallest lay-by just fit all 10 wagons in, the copper went to the convoy leading wagon and asked what is in the trucks, the manifest was shown and he let us go.
Seems like the police over in Germany have nothing better to do just like in the UK.
We then carried on our way only to be stopped again but this time on the German/Austrian Border we pulled into a lay-by again but this time we had a pretty boy who i tell you needed to learn how to use an iron scruffy git, was telling us two wagons looked over loaded.

Two of the wagons had to go to a police weigh bridge to be weighed but later on we found out the wagons where in fact legal. we stayed in the lay-by for a cuppa and buns then set off again around 18:00.
We made it to our Hotel around 19:45 but got lost in an Austrain town, Austians take town driving to another level believe me with the strange road sign and signals
