I was looking for a place to crash in Barbados…this place looked decent on the surface of it. And then I read their own description….

 

IMG_0688.thumb.jpeg.277412674b18e3c9a45ff6c631078b43.jpegI mean, I’m all for honesty, but I don’t think they’re doing themselves any favours here!

They are basically letting you know that any shagging will wake the whole community

Finally back from our road trip and covered just shy of 2800 miles. Would I do it again? 100% yes. 

 

Mont Blanc is absolutely insane and definitely somewhere I’d go back to. We camped facing Mont Blanc and it’s a breathtaking view. 
 

We stayed in a mixture of Airbnb’s and camp sites (mainly Airbnb’s as I’m a bit of a princess) and it was really good fun. 
 

We managed to spend less that £100 a day on food and snacks and that included eating out almost every night. 
 

A somewhat controversial opinion here…..I don’t like Rome. Far too overwhelming for me but perhaps my opinion would change if it was a different time of the year. 
 

Temperatures ranged from 23 degrees in Calais down to 43 degrees in Italy :o The 10 year old found Italy too warm but the teenager loved it. 
 

In total we used 3 and a half tanks of fuel and our beautiful T5 didn’t miss a beat. 
 

The worst part of the journey? The fricking M25 on the way home. 3 lanes closed, part of the Dartford Tunnel closed and what should’ve been an easy 3.5 hours drive back turned into just under 7 hours. 


Countries covered - France Belgium Switzerland Luxembourg and Italy which beats our previous record of 4 visited in one trip last year. 
 

Already planning next years trip!

Sounds Immense. Mate, for the same driving distance of Leicester to Rome, I essentially can leave where I live in the Greater Toronto area and still be in Ontario  (if heading west) LOL.

 

If I head south,  the same distance would take me to Orlando,  Florida.

 

The wifes brother drives to Orlando every year as he loves it down there. 20 to 24 hours straight with no hotel stop overs for the night.

Had a friend in high-school who would drive to Florida and back on a weekend.

 

Crazy that it's the same amount of time it would take to drive to Winnipeg 🤣

The Topjaw series on YouTube did a video in Lille and it looked great for eating and boozing 

Fair enough, I have no idea so only going on what I’ve been told and what I posted was pretty much a direct quote lol

It was a shock to my eldest when she realised how small the UK actually is!

 

I love a road trip but 20+ hours non stop, nope. I’m bored after 4 hours

No, just loves the heat and hates canadian winters. He drives down there during our winters for a week.  My wife has family down there as well that he will visit. 

 

Island people like the heat even when they move here, they seek it out when they can!

No I wouldn't say so. I found it very jarring on my first visit. Second visit I head off to Trastevere district and the less busy sights, enjoyed it a lot.

Orlando though? The best bit of Orlando is driving out of it, surely?

It's a cheap vacation to drive down instead of flying 5 people down. They go around to west palm and Miami. The whole area in between really.

Horses for courses, I guess. Can't say I ever warmed to Florida.

It's just somewhere hot to get to, cheaper and family is around. Beats the -10 canadian winter for a week.

 

Flying to a Caribbean island during any school break is top $ over here as I'm sure it is over there.

 

I have never been to Florida but my wife is always on my case as she used to go woth her family when she was younger. I said F-NO to that commute.

 

My daughter has stomach issues when in a car for too long so it won't work. We did get a new suv recently which seems to have helped though and did 2.5 hour drive in which she was fine. Promising for future vehicle long distance trips
