Always prefer to drive up the road to Hull - Rotterdam ferry, have a nice meal on board, a bath and a good night's sleep and be in Bavaria at 1700 the next day. Then we can drive around all of Europe at our leisure and see things plane dwellers never do.

Rotterdam-Bavaria is 500 miles. In one hop. That's your idea of at leisure?

(We use the ferry into France quite often, and aim never to spend more
than half a day at a time, on the backroads, so not more than 200km or
so each day. Then a night in a hotel and move on. We flew and rented a
car for the Schwarzwald)
