my brave husband is...


the hero of the road trip!!! :)
We drove altogether 2378.9 km in 10 days, Frankfurt - Lucerne - Como - Florence - Siena - Pisa - Forte dei Marmi - Milan - Frankfurt. Ermm, actually, only he drove. The rest of us just sat in the car, some more annoying than the others. That's you, Kristin!
Some of the stretches were pretty perilous and nerve-wrecking, and I was simply too much a baby to drive.

I really don't like driving here, especially in Germany.
Reasons are threefold:
1) Germans like to chase you. Not just tail-gate, they really chase you down the Autobahn when there's no speed limit.
2) When they signal, they will swerve out almost immediately not casting any care for your speed/acceleration.
3) They will start to overtake you when there's an obvious speed limit to stick to... Why???

In the city? They are just impatient drivers who can't park properly! They seem alright because there are no parking lines drawn!
And driving in Italy??? No way, man! There isn't any lane marking in the cities!
