Hi. We are pretty sure have decided on staying at a resort hotel in the small town of Gemund roughly halfway between Frankfurt and Brussels. Before and after the resort area (and touring we will spend a day in either Brussels or Frankfurt or immediate area -- depending on which city we fly into.

My question is this: is there any sort of boarder line hold up which would add time and bother going from Brussels, Belgium into Germany? Further, is there heavy traffic going from Brussels into the Cologne/Bonn area? If not, I might rather spend the after resort time in Brussels.

Thanks for any help you are able to offer.

There is no border check from Belgium to Germany, so it's no different than driving from Ohio to Kentucky. This is true for most of Western Europe.

Can't speak to the traffic situation.

You better watch out! The spelling police are stampeding your way!

That's right starrsville. This reminds me of that physician's group that will not take tenants.
They're called Doctors Without Boarders.

Good one, maitaitom!

Going from Germany to Belgium is the equivalent of going from New Jersey to Pennsylvania - you won;t notice you've done it until you see the sign "Welcome to ".

There are no borders any longer in much of europe.

Each country within Schengen retains its rights to have border control. For example, Portugal is checking people arriving from Spain by land; but not the other way around.

Tom LOL!!

I have found that the check in lines at B and Bs can be killers.
