So far no worries with the steed of steel, running like a wee sewing machine. We left this morning at 0930 and 360 miles later arrived here in Bavaria for the night, tired and having been fed and watered now ready for bed (9.15pm).
Quite an eye opening day, the scale of these roads, the standards of maintenance, hardly a bump, ripple and certainly no bloody potholes, so were able to sit at a steady 75/80 mph all day- which is nothing when we were being passed by a steady stream of cars and vans all doing in excess of 100mph.
Mr Salmond would wet himself if he saw the size and numbers of the wind farms, windmills and also acres of solar panels - all in the name of saving the planet. Our Dept. of Transport would love to have just a fraction of the road building money being spent here. New four lane motorways, immense bridges over valleys, just mind boggling.
Tonight's guest house is brand new, in a small village and is very nice, spotlessly clean, only problem being (nearly finished), no bar and no breakfast facilities - but we can have a coffee and stop of for breakfast, fuel, and then head off into the Alps to cross over through Austria into Italy..
Went to a local bar for drinks and food, very nice, owner did well to understand us - but it was good and as we were all hungry went down a treat.
Now trying to work out a slightly different route for tomorrow as we have time and want to take a scenic route !!! wait and see.
