Hi Dave,
It ended up as a 5000 mile drive in 2.5 weeks all in a Toyota Corolla.
I saw a lot but did not manage any hunting, I just had the wrong frame of mind after being pi**ed off from the job in Juarez.
But I came back to Germany with a damaged hand (seems the aircon blowing on my left wrist screwed it up) and I went over then to the UK and bought 2 houses just for renting out, so the retirement fund is now sorted out.
Hunting has took a dip here in Germany as my hunt leaseholder that I help out here has lost the hunting rights as of April 2013.
Thats life.
Martin
