[Idyllchat] traveling by car

[momman at pacbell.net]

Train travel is always the preferred way to go in Europe, but the old joke about Italian trains still holds true. The lack of dependency is hard to handle. I'm still not recovered from the time we were to meet our children (teenagers) near Amalfi, and the train was eight hours late.  Still, once enroute, the service is comfortable.  Driving is wonderful in Germany and Switzerland, with perfect roads, well marked.  Trains are also wonderful in Germany and Switzerland, so car/train is a very good choice for you.

Enjoy a beautiful trip.  You are going at the perfect time of year.

We are also planning to visit an exchange student in Munich and my husband's relatives in Switzerland.  We are trying to decide the best way to travel between these three points.  We will probably be flying into and out of Munich, so will need to go from Munich to Schwanden (Switzerland) and from Schwanden to Florence.  After our two weeks in Tuscany we will go back  to Munich to fly home.  We have narrowed it down to: train, part train/part car, or all car.  We would really prefer doing it all by car, but are concerned re: the difficulty of managing an unfamiliar road system and all the parking (or lack thereof!) problems.  Cost is an issue with us, so we want to do this as economically as possible.  Any thoughts on how we should proceed?  Thanks so much.  Marie Maines
