Its a depressing time when your countries government website has a “beta” label on it and shows a 404 on the homepage – http://www.number10.gov.uk/

Another Euro Drive

November 9, 2008 on 11:31 am | In General | 5 Comments

Woooo! Well It looks like I’ll be doing another drive across mainland Europe in January :D

The first time I did a drive across Europe I didn’t even bother taking a camera but the second time I did a little post on it with some pics.

I actually found an old MP3 which I recorded the night before I went on the drive. At the time I was doing SEO for an insurance company and because I wanted a break and I’m impatient I booked the ferry for the next day! The night before I saw my friend and we had a few drinks and he sang this on the fly.

The great thing about Europe is once you’re in, that’s basically it, no hassle! Just drive anywhere at anytime without any problems.

I’m torn between attempting a long drive to somewhere like Russia or visiting multiple countries. I like the idea of driving to Russia and back because its quite a challenge since its such a distance and you travel through a fair amount of countries but I wouldn’t really have time to do anything in the countries but have a quick nap before moving onto the next.

If however I decide to visit multiple countries then I’m thinking something..

Ferry from Dover(UK) to Dunkirk(France)

Dunkirk to Frankfurt(Germany)

Frankfurt to Zurich(Switzerland)

Zurich to Rome(Italy)

Rome to Geneva (France)

Geneva to Paris(France) or Dunkirk(France)… depending on timing

Not an easy drive to do in a short time (7 or 10 days) but that kinda makes it more challenging :D

If you have any suggestions on places to visit or changes to the route then feel free to comment! Nothings set in stone.
