Euro Road Trip 2012

leowyatt · 18-04-2011, 18:42

Spawning from volospian's gumball thread I decided I'd start one to see if there is any interest.

The plan would be to drive round europe over the course of around 5 days. There isn't as yet much more of a plan apart from this map.

Countries we'd visit would be France, Italy and Switzerland. All in we're looking at around 1720+ miles.

If people are interested then stick your name below. I can then look into accomodation, routes, etc.

Ok, not having organised something like this before, what do you want to know?

Dr. Z · 18-04-2011, 19:15

I dunno, this is pretty embryonic I guess.

Can I suggest that you go through Belgium and Germany before going down through Switzerland? France is pretty boring up there and Belguim is such a nice place! Germany is pretty concrete but the countryside is quite pretty in places.

I have done a route similar to the above, hit me up on MSN if you want to know more

I had the best Ice Cream of my life in Monaco.

Aww I did a similar route when I drove to Venice and back! I'd love to but at the same time I need to see the rest of the worldy too!

I'm a mebbe

Having never been out of this country before, I'm quite tempted by this!

Great idea, Leo but I think you need to spend more time or don't go so far. That's nearly 350 miles per day which personally I reckon is too much.

Once we have an idea of people who are interested I can start to look into exact routes, places to see. I agree 350 miles is rather a long way but the most interesting roads and sights I believe occur once we hit Italy and Switzerland.
