And if you like good food check out the Bistro at the Karel V hotel
A few of us DDKrs enjoyed a dinner there on the route back from the 356 international

There's a big supercar shop off the big road that runs past Utrecht, on the right hand side as you're heading east. I have no idea what it's called or how to access it, but it looks ace...

...and reading that back it isn't much help at all. Sorry. I've never been in to Utrecht. Apparently the pedestrian crossings' lights have Miffy on them rather than people.

Ok, I had to google that. Its just one pedestrian crossing that has miffy instead of people on it. Because of the Miffy author being a local. Still, gloriously dutch. The things you learn on DDK..

Although not in Utrecht itself, not far away is the Louwman Museum in the outskirts of The Hague. Until 4 Sep there is an exhibition of the Rijkspolitie Porsches covers 356s up to 964. We popped in on the way back to Rotterdam ferry port a few weeks back. Rest of the museum very good plus nice cafe/restaurant. Check out the links below.
