    It’s a day and a half the way we Americans drive which is to run on coffee and fast food and burn above the speed limit for fourteen hours a day.

    I am (or was, now I’m having doubts) of the belief that European motorists were more inclined to take their time, see some sights and not exhaust themselves in the transit. That may have been a late-20th century thing.

      No, it is a 13 and a half hour drive according to Google, which would be according to the speed limit. We Americans would do it in a single day because hotels are expensive.

        Google is telling me it’s only 12 hours. I’ve definitely driven that far in a single day, and could probably shave that down to 11

        Still though, that’s a huge travel commitment for tourists who are used to major cities being 4-hours apart by train
