B and I started planning trips we'd like to take using the "German Mapquest", Map24.com. We picked fairly random cities that we thought would be interesting and found it remarkable that many of them are less than 6 hours from Heidelberg. To wit:
| Milan, Italy: | 5 hours 50 minutes (578 kilometers) |
| Prague, Czech Republic: | 5 hours 50 minutes (514 kilometers |
| Paris, France: | 5 hours 24 minutes (541 kilometers) |
| Amsterdam, Netherlands: | 5 hours 2 minutes (502 kilometers) |
| Salzburg, Austria: | 5 hours (479 kilometers) |
| Zurich, Switzerland: | 3 hours 21 minutes (325 kilometers) |
And last but not least, Hamburg, Germany: 5 hours 47 minutes (574 kilometers) [Thanks for the reminder Wolfgang].
I think our first long trip will be to Munich and then on to Salzburg. Emily recently fell in love with "The Sound of Music". What could be cooler than visiting the places where it was filmed? B can't wait to get to Paris as I owe her a purse from last Christmas (from a certain designer with initials LV). I'm obviously more excited about Salzburg. ;)
We've ordered a Chrysler minivan and should take delivery this week. Hopefully the entertainment system will keep the kids distracted on our many 5 hour (or so) trips.
