I did not blog much about it (I was too busy enjoying myself…) but it was quite a trip. I just loved it. And I fell in the love with the very idea of a road trip. Constantly driving, seeing the different aspects of a country through your car window. It is a really great way to travel.

I just put together a little map showing our trip:

It’s at the very limit of what Google Maps can manage but it does give you an idea of what we’ve seen while traveling 6,500km (about 4,000mi) around Europe. Absolutely recommended.

Naturally, the restaurants are crowded and the streets are full of people. Most amazingly of all, though, there’s kids of all ages everywhere. There is even a special kids’ event — a puppet show — that is going on to this late hour. And the main plaza is crowded with small children who would have been sent to bed long ago anywhere else in the world. I must say: I like it.
