Thanks for that. I know what you mean about getting lost. My friend and I had to get from Stuttgart centre to the airport which is about 10 miles. Everything was fine until we left the Neckar cyclepath. We thought we'd be able to make it using a road map and road signs. Boy were we wrong. It took us about two and a half hours to get within a mile or so of the airport, then about another hour to navigate the local roads. Now I love Germany, but I wouldn;t say road signage was their premier hand.
I love that inebriate mayor. Wow, I'd be frightened.
