Just back from my european tour
I have been back in the uk for a week now, but it has taken me a little while to get myself straight.
I had always wanted to go for a drive round europe and after our mini trip, i can say that it was well worth it.
In the end we managed to visit France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland and covered 3196 miles in 17 days.
Anyway, here are a few snaps to bore you with...
pyrenees
Our accomodation some of the time.
St Tropez
And some of Switzerland...
Cheers

Yeh, i have got a few more piccies
For me, Switzerland was my highlight. The scenery is just incredable.
If anyone is considering a trip like this, then just go for it. It really gives you a feel for the countrys that you pass through. Not as quick as flying but alot more rewarding IMO

Go for it andy. You wont regret it
That ice palace was a strange place. For anyone who has'nt been, its a cavern filled with ice scuptures at the top of a mountain but about 30ft deep into the ice.

Looks quality greg, Im planning on doing the same next month and one of the 2 cars we are taking is an Elise, and I notice you appear to have managed to fit all your kit for 2 people and a tent + sleeping bags in one Elise?!!! How?!!
We had planned on taking tents, but decided there wouldnt be the room in the cars as the Elise can hold so little?
Also were you just camping in random places, or on proper siteS?

You can fit a fair bit in the elise if you pack really carefully. That means stuffing stuff into any available nooks and crannies (ooerrr vicar)
We bought small sleeping bags that compress into fairly small bags, one of which was stuffed at the end of the passenger foot well.
We camped on two pre booked campsites and the rest of the time was spent in hotels, some of which were pre booked. We wanted to leave a certain amount of flexiblity in the trip.
The clothing was limited, and we rolled the garments together to save space.
So it can be done. It just needs careful packing.
Below is our route.
