We’re now back home and slowly remembering how to live in a house! Here’s a statistical summary of our trip…
- 45 days (44 nights away from home)
- 3785 miles (to nearest 5 miles)
- 10 countries (all stayed in at least one night): UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland
- 24 border crossings
- 22 mountain passes
- 24 campsites (including one railway siding and one layby) and two friends’ houses
- 11 nappy washes
- 5.5 bottles of suncream and 7 bottles of wine
- 17 ice cream eating occasions
- 6 lake swims, 2 river swims, 2 sea swims, 3 pool swims and countless paddles
And our very approximate route map (apparently Google only allows 10 stops, hence 5 separate maps with fairly random changeover points):
