And it can be done faster, esp. from HAM. Morning rushhour is much worse if heading to Hamburg from the south. The ride to Bremen should be an easy one. I almost never drive longer than 2 hours from Hamburg to Bremerhaven.
Too bad, the new Centralwings nonstop-service KRK-HAM will only start at April 1st. They are offering very good prices actually.
