Prior to Covid and Brexit (afetr being made reundant from my "real" job) we spent several years working winter seasons in the Alps, saving up, and spending the whole summer touring Europe. We got to Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Slovakia, Czechia, Netherlands. Brexit put a stop to the winter work, Covid interrupted travel, and both my wife and I have had cancer. I am looking at these posts now, and my old photos, and gaining inspiration for another big tour next year, when hopefully our health issues will be more stable.
My dream for next year has formed as ferry to Hook of Holland, down through Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, then Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro and down to Albania. Then home over the Albanian mountains to inland Montenegro, Bosnia, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Czechia, Germany and Netherlands to home.
It's a big dream, but I have worked out we should be able to do it with 90 days in Schengen being the only time constraint, the rest outside is in cheaper places so we can take our time.
