Day 5: Munich - Calais - Chester
Distance travelled 920 miles Start: Munich End: Chester Final day of the trip, but the longest drive still to do, Munich to Chester in a day. Totally possible. Set off at 9:30am after a slightly longer start to the day, Oktoberfest was great last night, something we'd definitely go back to, but not so great for an early start & driving 900+ miles. After making sure I was sober enough to drive, we fired up the Volvo and back onto the streets of Munich, while Dad continued to nurse his hangover. Easy drive out of the city, and we were back to the spectator sport of the autobahn. Basically, the sport is driving at a normal 75-80mph, and watching the German nutters come past at warp speed, making sure you give appropriate oohs and ahhs as they do so. This is enjoyable enough, however when there's several all in an outside lane race, this improves the spectator element. When a truck pulls out in front of said race, going 80mph slower than the chain of €100,000 German saloo
