Two Week Europe Road trip - Preperation Begins!

So the route has been decided, the car is in working order, and yet now the real ordeal begins, what will we need and what should we take?

Based on last years road trip I can forget things this year such as rucksack, walking boots, campstove and tent. Instead I should begin to focus much more on things such as snacks, blankets, beach towels and tow rope.

But the mere act of preparing for this road trip has sparked that longing for adventure in me, I get itchy feet, I want to move to do things, to see new places and to explore other cultures. My mind races over the possibilities of the people we will meet, the stories they will tell and the unknown that we will discover.

I am still looking forward to the day when I can leave the working world behind and just wander.

Planning of a New Journey Two Week Road Trip Number Two

So this year we haev been planning a second two week road trip around Europe. The plan was based more towards Amsterdma, Berlin, Poland and Munich, it was a good plan.

Then something unexpected happened, the sun came out. After last years su - Pure rain - British weather had pretty much got us beat. But those rays of sunshine, warming the heart, tanning the skin and giving me the opportunity to goto work in short sleeved shirts.

Our plans changed. Gone was the culture, the ambiance and amazement of our plan instead.

Spain, sun sand superguapo, French beaches tres bien oolala, the English Gardens in Munich, einfach fantastisch!

I am looking forward to two weeks of sunshine, drinking and relaxing, with maybe a few adventures thrown in ;)
