Driving europe

[Laddey]

hello lads.


Me and 3 mates (so far) are hiring a 6 birth motor home to travel to hideout festival which is in Croatia.

It's about 1200 miles according to the aa route planner. Can anybody suggest a site I can use for the whole journey which will give me a choice of parking places for the way down (1 stop) and other details which will come in handy?

It's the 25th of June to the 2nd of July.

I was thinking of setting off 3pm on the 24th driving til midnight then finishing the journey the next day. We could do it in one hit but I'm a bad passenger and the 3 lads were going with are piss pots so I'll drive and take my time.

Any words of advice from past experiences? Thanks

Google Maps. Pretty much everything you need, especially now there's an offline mode so you won't have to blow through your data roaming. Word of warning; if you go through Switzerland its just about one of the worst places in Europe for hidden speed cameras.

Other than that; not much. If you can split the driving between the bunch of you you could easily do it in one hit, but you'd also be missing out on one of the most beautiful parts of the world. I'd break the journey if you have the time.

I've used Google Maps from my phone, with headphones, no screen, on my bike across France and Spain a few times, no problems.

Always remember, they drive on the wrong side of the road.

Think he means the countries you would pass through as you can't take your time. I'd give yourself an extra day and then you can stop when you see interesting shit, and end up in some serial killer hostel or something

Don't just go on the motorways, take detours every now and again to explore. Motorways are boring. And stay away from Paris if you can, the traffic on the ring road is a nightmare.

If you go through Switzerland check out Interlaken, it's a beautiful place.

Depends which way go; Munich one way, Venice another (slight diversion). Personally I'd go via Munich and then Salzburg because you'd go through Bavaria and the prettiest bits of Austria. You could even visit Berchtesgaden, which is so beautiful Hitler nicked it for himself and his mates.

You guys are great. Has anybody ever hired a motorhome?
