A trip to Europe often involves travelling to and from your destination on the motorway. As a well-known coach claims, when you buy a car, you’ve already bought the traffic jam too, so you shouldn’t get upset about it. And so, here I am, stuck in the middle of a lovely landscape, in the company of many other drivers, seeing that the “grass is greener on the other side” – meaning free-flowing traffic in the opposite direction. Of course, the other lane always seems to move faster, doesn’t it? More pictures from the road in the “on the road” gallery.
