Das Autobahn - Day 6


Today we started the day in Munich on the road to Zurich. We got to drive on the famous no-speed-limit highway, the Autobahn. (You all know how much I loved that). On the way into the city, I was tired and a little less able to appreciate the Audis, BMWs and Mercedes zooming by our bus.

As I said, there are no speed limits, but our bus is limited to 100 Kilometers per hour, about 55 mph. There are recommended limits, but it was not unusual to see a highpowered car zip by at 200 kph. It's fun to see those big cars stretch their legs, and fun to see new names like Peugot and Opel. But disconcerting to see one zipping by labeled 'KIA'
