European Grande Tour 2013
Well, it's that time of the year again - time to TRAVEL!! And where are we going this year? Why Europe of course! By now you would have guessed it is our favorite destination. And why? Because it is not just one destination. There are over 20 different countries to explore, a multitude of cultures to experience, and an inexhaustible range of food to sample. One thing we have learned from our previous trips is to not set out with any preconceptions, just follow the road and let it take you wherever it ends up. With that in mind, we haven't set out with any planned itinerary, except maybe this year we'll get to see Croatia. Anyway, see you on the road.
