Finally, our trip to Europe has begun. What a long-awaited she was, considering how we are for obtaining a Schengen visa worried. There are 4 weeks of road ahead: Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and about 4000 km by car, 1000 km by hitchhiking and 2500 km by plane.
Initially, my wife and I were just going to fly to friends in France, but a friend was drawn in a car and another friend. As a result, the four of us travel by car to France, through the Czech Republic and Germany. The guys go back home to Moscow together, as they are working people, and they only have to rest for 2 weeks at a time. We are staying for another 2 weeks in France and are already flying from there to Berlin, and then to Moscow. We plan to stop, with friends, by entries, and possibly in campsites in a tent, if we are not afraid of the weather. Here is such a journey..
We don't quite match up with our friends in order to travel to Europe. They somehow want more standard attractions, but we prefer to spend time in French families and small towns in order to observe everyday life and look from the inside at the life of local residents. But we have already found a compromise, so all the way.
The route that we ended up with and a list of all the posts of their trip can be seen here - Independent travel to Europe - route.
Our approximate route.
By car: Moscow - Brest - Prague - Munich - Grenoble - Marseille - Setfon
Hitchhiking: Setfon - Rohan-Saint-Marie - Grenoble - Paris
By plane: Paris - Berlin, Berlin - Moscow.
Travel news.
You may have already seen the innovation - «Our latest news» in the blog header. There will be messages that we will write from the phone via SMS in real time from the country where we are now. It may be interesting for you to observe where we are and what we are. And we ourselves want to try this trick..
At the very least, this will be useful for our friends and relatives, so as not to write SMS to everyone, after all, it's a little expensive in roaming. Now all our friends can just go to the blog and find out the latest news from the fields.
P.S. While we are away, there will be several informational posts that we have accumulated while writing travel reports, as well as Daria's story about volunteering in France. But when we return, there will be so much to tell about, so have a little patience.!
