The countdown is on, we are getting closer to the trip by the day! We are now less than a month away from Ian and Tracey's European Roadtrip which is in August 2024.
Tracey's 60th birthday was in May 2024 and we discussed doing a trip to mark it using trains , booking via Eurail, but as Tracey had a new car for her birthday, we decided to use it to do a grand European adventure.
The car we are doing the trip in is a Mazda MX5, so not a lot of space for luggage and equipment, but it has a soft top roof, so hopefully we can take the roof off and make the most of good weather as we journey across Europe.
after several attempts we settled on the itinerary below:
- Home to Folkestone, where we will board the train and travel through LeTunnel, a journey that takes 35 minutes to reach Coquelle, on the outskirts of Calais,
- Luxembourg,
- Strasbourg,
- A campsite near Salzburg,
- Padova as a base to visit Venice, and perhaps more importantly Murano.
- Rome.
- Puglia - where we are staying for 4 days in Martina Franca.
- A campsite near Bologna, where we will visit Florence and Milan.
- Chamonix.
- Thiat - to see Bernadette and Dave their family and friends to celebrate Bernadette's 60th birthday for a few days.
- Orleans.
- then head back to Le Tunnel and the drive back to Peterborough.
Give us some feedback, we would love to hear what you think?
Ian and Tracey

Really cannot wait just to get going and escape on a journey of sights, sounds and tastes! Experiencing a different way of life for 3 weeks is what I really crave
