Never driven in the Netherlands - only been to Amsterdam & Utrecht, so
public transport & shanks' pony were fine. The motorways beside the
railways all looked spiffy and new though. Have only driven from
Berlin to Munich actually; that's my entire driving experience on
mainland Europe! I seem to remember being surprised that the Autobahn
was 2 lanes only for most of the way.
