R+R (Rain + Roadworks!!!!!)

Today should have been a steady blast along Germany's famed de-restricted autobahns making 500km less than 5 hours including a few stops. It took us 7 1/2 hours!!!

Every motorway had some works going on. On the motorbike you are able to filter which at least keeps you moving. Most people accept filtering - apart from one guy, but I put this down to part of my education of learning new hand gestures.

The worst section without doubt was the A8 between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, a busy stretch at the best of times with plenty of intersections, and now all being dug up. Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh.

I would like to see the people responsible for this put up at the side of the road similar to the end of Spartacus.....

I have a 'Swabian' friend in Stuttgart who is investigating - when he returns from his next trip to Rio.
