Always prefer to drive up the road to Hull - Rotterdam ferry, have a

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

When I was working and drove to Tirana, I was only allowed 21 days
holiday in total and the first leg was 635 miles Rotterdam - Salzburg in
14 hours.

I've done Cherbourg to Megeve in a day - and that included using the
"periferique"

My best two were Sienna to Cambridge in 10 hours, and Copenhagen to
Cambridge via Ejsberg, in 24..non stop apart from 15 mins kip at Aachen.
