A dog's travels to France & Spain & Switzerland
In and around Europe
As most blogs come from a human traveller's perspective, I thought I would add mine to give you a four legged ~ 20 inch high view point of travels through France and Spain.
This is the first time in all my mature 9 years that I have ventured abroad from my cosy home in Norfolk to join my 'mum & dad' on one of their many travel trips. I am excited by this as it will give me a chance to test out the pets passport scheme and to review hotels and restaurants in France & Spain.
I plan a dogometer rating based on relevant criteria essential to both human and canine comforts. Where practical I will give helpful advice.
Departure will be Saturday 8th July 2006 via the Eurotunnel for 3 weeks travel. Watch this space....
