I have just returned from an amazing holiday. This time I was the captain and we set off from home on a 2 week 3000 mile trip in my car to some lovely European destinations.
Here was our itinerary:-
Colmar – France
Interlaken – Switzerland
Lake Como – Italy
Lake Garda – Italy
Chioggia (South part of Venice – Italy
Rimini – Italy
Rome – Italy (2 nights)
Cecina – Italy
Portofino – Italy
Nice & Monte Carlo (2 nights)
Lyon – France
Troyes – France
Bruges – Belgium
Obviously travelling by car I had to try and plan a good mix of destinations vs travel time. Fortunately I don’t mind driving and as we avoided toll roads it meant that although journey times were often longer, it meant we took a lot more scenic and interesting routes. I particularly enjoyed driving over the Swiss Alps, the scenery is amazing. We did plenty of walking to explore the destinations once we arrived, some days walking over 10 miles. We didn’t have the luxuries of a cruise ship holiday but it was a great little adventure and we got to visit some beautiful destinations.
Here are some of the pictures (mostly selfies) I took whilst we were away so you can see some of the sights we experienced.
