18 days in all. Three one night stops on the way down and then a week in Tuscany. For the return we took our time with longer stops. Three nights in Bardolino, two in Uberlingen then a single night each in Heidelberg and Reims.
Bardolino is very touristy so wasn’t what we’d expected but the hotel was excellent and made for a very enjoyable and relaxing few days. The day we arrived it was the Bardolino International Triathlon so especially busy. We also used it for a day trip to Verona - €5/pp each way. Inexpensive bus but a very, very expensive day as Mrs D found her mother-of-the-bride dress.
Uberlingen and Heidelberg (via the Black Forest 500) were in order to see something of Germany. We’ll be seeing more for sure.
Indeed it is a long journey but that was one reason for investing in the Macan. It just gobbled all up.
