Be careful with routes between Vienna and Geneva especially. If you have routed via motorways then the times will be pretty much spot on but if you start cutting through the mountains, which tend to be shorter routes in distance, you will actually double your travelling time which routing software isn't that good at reflecting. ____________________ A Petrol Head in The Alps

When you leave Como, if in no great hurry head south to Geno then head West. There is a coast road all the way into France what has great views of the sea and takes in a few good towns. For speed you can still take a higher road (E80) and just pop into a couple of towns for food, cheaper fuel. The E80 also skiffs over Monaco what you would be nuts not popping in for a visit.[/quote]
I have just been checking out that very route you suggested, it looks amazing[/quote]
So we are looking at Amsterdam to Frankfurt, then Basel ,Como, Genoa along the coast to Sanremo onto Nice then aix, Grenoble, Clunie, Nnancy and then back to the Dam, roughly 1800 miles, ____________________ scottish |

Is Frankfurt a must. Google says 4 hours but that is no delays. Normally you will get chucked off the ferry at 09.30 but the past 4 years its been closer to 10.30 and 11am last year. Also getting into Frankfurt and out again takes up time. I would skip it and spend the first night here

That was recommended to me for last year and its a cracking on route hotel. I was Ijmuiden to that hotel in Halsenbach at around 4.30pm but that was after a detour to a friends house on route. Cheap room €75 i think for the wife an me and breakfast. It serves food until 9.30 and as far as i could tell the mini bar was free

Well according to the route master (the wife) we may miss out on Frankfurt all together. She has now decided that we should get off the ferry, spend a night in Amsterdam check out where the best weather is and head there ! wumin !
Thanks for the link to the hotel, appreciate it. ____________________ scottish |
