Bob and Kerrie's 'Crisis-what-Crisis' European Adventure

In and around World

The rest of the world is riding the "GFC" but we have decided to buck the trend and take 4 months off work and travel to Europe.  Throwing caution to the wind we have raided the savings account and bought a motorhome.  We plan to follow the coastline and travel through France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and possibly Greece - staying in campsites and investigating the countryside for as long as short as we like.
