European Summer Tour

On 26th July, we (2 families)set off in 2 cars for a 10-day holiday by road southward to Italy. The journey brought us to 8 countries - Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Switzerland, Italy, Vatican, Austria and Germany.

The first day we drove through Belgium and Luxemburg before reaching the European City of Strasbourg in NE of France. The jouney took about 7 hours including a stop. Strasbourg is situated on the Ill River, where it flows into the Rhine. The city is located near to the Vosges Mountains and the famous Black Forest. As this is the holiday season, there were significant number of Dutch cars on the road heading to sunny south - as if the whole country is emptying.
