Lugano 2 Nancy 17.12.12

Th 5 hour drive estimated from Lugano, CH to Nancy, France became a 7 hour drive through the Swiss Alps and then into France through the Northern Vosges Forest. Whew! So far, I have driven 5,187 km (3,215 miles across the European Union and Eastern Former Soviet Block Countries: Hungary, Romania, Serbia (Twice through), Bulgaria, and Slovenia.

So here are the trip photos I took on route.

 A rest stop outside the Gotthard Tunnel (10 miles long)

 Inside the rest stop

 They forced it on me. LOL

 A short cut through a little bit of Germany near Karlsruhe)

Notice on the lower right of my there is the speed, but no speed limit. I'm on the Autobahn with no speed limits set.
