Allen Unkenrufen zum Trotz haben wir unser gesamtes Gepäck in unserem Auto untergebracht, es ging also auch ohne Bus (Caddy (lieber Ronny ;-) ). Wild entschlossen stiegen wir trotz widriger Wetterbedingungen ins Auto und starteten gen Salzburg - und erkannten recht schnell, dass die fortschreitende Zeitangabe im Navi nicht eine falsche Uhrzeit, sondern die jeweils angepasste Ankunftszeit wiedergibt.
