Our trip this year was for 5 weeks during autumn... September to October. We stayed in 5 countries starting with Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, and ending with France. We drove across Europe taking in the scenic routes, an incredible visual of autumn's beauty in all the countries traveled. Needless to say the camera was working overtime photo clicking when possible.
The trips goal was to search for the best in landscapes, local cuisine, wines, & beer. We stayed in 3 B&B's, 2 Hotels, 2 apartments, & one Pension. Like last year we leased the Hatchback Peugeot out of Montreal which we picked up at the Paris airport. Driving in Europe is a great idea for those who want to go off the typical tourist areas and get out to the country.
We brought a GPS this year for the trip and it was our first experience using this technology. We discovered that you still have to read your maps because not everything shows up on the GPS. Still we recommend it highly and it got us out of the road mazes within the medieval cities.
