Talk about this trip (1)
Charles (View Charles's trips)
This was an awesome trip. (Probably the best vacation that could be possible.)

Things we did not budget enough money for:
Road Toll-Charges
Very High Price of Gasoline
Speeding tickets on the autobahn. [ whoops! :) ]

Things that would be nice:
a universal name for "Supreme Unleaded"
{not a problem this time -- but we had a close call}

Things we would change:
- Spend less time in Venice (or wait till a time when we do not have an automobile.)
- Spend more time in smaller towns rather than larger cities.

Summary:
This vacation provided a nice overview of places in europe.

Wish: Future european vacation
2 weeks in a villa in Italy with a local chef.
