We are keen to be invigorated by the European spring, spend lazy days eating gelati in the summer, and experience a white Christmas come December. On top of that the girls are keen to visit some of the places written into their favourite fiction. The only way we could afford such a trip is to ride and camp. We hope it will work!

We feel that if we go slow (or at least not so far each day) and enjoy the journey, this could be one of the best 7 months of our lives.
