Rippunzel's Excellent European Adventure
About this blog
G'day. Here's a blog detailing our first European adventure. Following the well worn tourist bus routes around Western Europe, but doing it ourselves! Yep we're driving on the wrong side of the road, and camping in tents as well . . . . .
Many of the days in this trip we did a lot of things and covered a lot of territory, so I've nominated the placed we stayed on each night - for example I know that the Glasgow School of Art is in Glasgow, but you'll see we ended up in Edinburgh that night . . make sense?
Anyway sit back and enjoy the ride - all 7500kms of it!
