Ok, some of you will say that aince I have done a trip through the major countries in Europe before. Why Would I want to do it again? The answer to that question is quite simple. Europe in Winter is a completely different experience from experiencing Europe in the Summer and after all the fun that was had in doing my Contiki trip through the Euoropean regions in 2007 (http://marsinlondoneurope.blogspot.com/) I thought it to be the right thing to experience this in Winter. This blog will be a collection of the journey through Europe and its leadup to departure... Be sure to check in frequently for new discoveries as we go..

Europe

.. and its off to Europe we go !!



So what is the plan for Europe Stan?  8 Countries in 14 Days ... If this was a Pinky and the Brain show then we could have said its taking over the world... but heck 8 countries is merely a sample of the big puzzle called earth..



So 8 countries it is - France, Switzerland, Italy, Vatican City, Austria, Germany, Netherlands & Belgium
spread over 14 days and staying in Hotels -- YES its Winter... No Camping this time round, staying in luxury  ... Maybe next year! a camp and backpack is in order ...
