Freiburg to Munich

Just an ordinary day, driving 6 hours. I tell you what is not ordinary, the way Germans drive. We were sitting on about 120km/h (the limit is 130) and we were seriously being passed like we were going 60. We had several traffic jams on the freeways because of accidents and Im not surprised. Its not that they are bad drivers, on the contrary, I think they are good drivers. They just drive too fast for the conditions. People are constantly changing lanes becasue there are lots of trucks in the slow lane, and they immediately change back, which I think is good, better at least than sticking in the fast lane and not moving (like in Adelaide). But sometimes you need to brake pretty hard because there is nowhere to go since someone is coming very fast up behind you and there is a slow car in front of you. So, I brake. Some other people decide not to brake and just change lanes anyway and thats when the crazyness begins. Anyway, we arrived ok and will spend a few days in Munich.
