Its been long since I got my German driving license but I have been reluctant to drive. Actually it takes 5 minutes of walk from my home to office so there is no real need, but my internal liking towards the driving made me to get the very expensive German driving license. Last weekend, without any concrete plan, I rented a nice car (Ford Focus). I went to my friend's place and then we were thinking about various possibilities of places to visit! I was thinking about Brussels while she came up with the names like Amsterdam and Berlin and we decided Amsterdam as a final destination!
We started around 2 PM and reached to Amsterdam around 5 PM. I have been driving in Europe for long time but this was the first time, I was driving continuously and at a very high speed. (~ 160 to 180 km/h). There are no speed limits in Germany so all the drivers, really push their cars to the extreme limit. As soon as we entered Netherlands, all the cars were is a row and constant speed of 130 km/h. One of my friend told me that it is much more relaxing to drive outside the Germany and after this experience, I agree to him!
Amsterdam is a very nice place but bit smaller city than expected. There are some famous museums but the most famous is th night life!!! We talked a lot in the downtown and even in 'Red Light district'. It is something we don't see in other cities. (Girls standing is glass showcase and people watching from outside!).
While driving back, I had the same experience. As soon as we entered the German borders all cars were pushed to limits and ultimately I also pushed my car! I can say the average speed was around 160 km/h. Next time, I have decided to get a bigger car which can go faster and try more destinations. It was worth a experience & journey.
