Hi all,
Me and a few friends are planning a euro road trip, and its coming up faster than a Turbo S on an autobahn!
We are leaving May 21st, so just over 5 weeks away.
I'm 'route-master' so, pressure is on! Fairly happy with most of the route, but in a bit of a muddle about the middle bit. Any advice from you lovely people would be grand.
