Thats an afternoon's outing in Oz terms, Anders. Forgot that you Europeans don't like to drive that much.

Grazie mille, attendo fiducioso :)

Garantito: passero' da Vienna per un paio di giorni.

Hi Ron,

It's not that Europeans don't like driving; it's that the time you have to spend there is quite unpredictable.

280 kms might take a bit more than two hours OR it might take considerably longer. You'll need just one "Stau" (traffic jam) on the Autobahn and you might be looking at spending hours there.

Last time I visited Würzburg the last 10 km on the 'Bahn took me as long as the previous 100 kms and I was on a motorbike so I could lane-split.

Hi Topi, My comment was a bit tongue in cheek as I have actually lived in both Berlin and Munich for some time. Whenever we felt like a great ,meal, we'd drive to Freiburg in the afternoon, eat dinner at Hug's Gasthof Reckenberg, stay the night and drive home the next morning. In Winter when the autobahns are not as crowded, it was an easy 3 1/2 hour drive, 3 hours if I pushed it.. Ron
