Guys, DBK's awesome series of posts goes about 10% of the way to describing the actual exprerience of those two weeks. It was simply unbelievable, and I got to cross off so many bucket list items in one trip.
One weird thing, in about 2500 miles of driving I think I only saw 3-4 police cars throughout Europe. They rely heavily on speed cameras, and funny 'Merican cars with no front plates and US rear plates meant that we all assumed we were invisible to speeding. Time will tell, but it was so much fun to blast up the motorways way over the speed limit getting thumbs-up from other drivers as we zoomed past.........err, not that I did that, Officer.
