And how far is it?

I remember at the last Prague meeting, that my driver took the 'short 
cut' through town back to the airport, as the highway loop was totally 
backed up.  He claimed that all the taxis had this route programmed into 
their GPS systems, and there WERE a lot of other taxis, both ways, along 
this route.  Did get a quick view of a lot of Prague on that drive!  
Also did make my flight.
