Re: Germany trip first week of April, any suggestions?

I didn't offer any alternatives, because as you say, "based on the
information he
posted, does he have any alternative?" was exactly what I understood. I
told him the countryside would be essentially a good part of his trip. And,
I gave him a good site that I felt would help him do a good job of finding
the best routes to take. And, I did give him one more spot that was near
his trip route. Best I could do in the way of suggestions.
