After a police escort early this morning, the Gumballers finally made it to Hahn Airport, just west of Frankfurt. Team Polizei’s goal of driving straight to Istanbul was subsequently abandoned after the German Police forbade Herr Roy and Master Piloten Ross from leaving the Hahn checkpoint. Team Polizei therefore joined fellow Gumballers for the plane ride to Istanbul where once they had arrived, received some discomforting news. The planes carrying the cars to Istanbul from Hahn were not allowed to fly to Turkey; instead they were diverted to Athens. As of last report from Team Polizei, Gumball staff has announced that Gumballers will be flown to Athens and the rally will continue from there.

Alex and Michael successfully made it to the Amsterdam checkpoint, taking several alternative routes and “long-cuts” through Belgium to avoid troubles with the local law enforcement. Their attempts fell short though after a motorcycle unit pulled the team over and slapped them with a 120 euro fine. The good news though was that the Team got some nice photos with the gracious officers! It was a lonely drive into Amsterdam for the Polizei M5, and it will be an even lonelier one leaving the city. Michael Ross reported that at their departure, there still were no other Gumballers who had arrived. Onward to Deutschland; the M5 can finally stretch her legs on her native Autobahn!
