Where did we go?

As it's quite hard to visualize where we went, I thought it might be good to give you a bit more clarification - after all, if we didn't know what country we were in, what chance did you have?

Our stop-overs were:

Brussels
Innsbruck (where we left the van on day 3)
Portogruaro (we couldn't quite make it to Trieste, having said farewell to the van in the morning)
Bratislava
Prague
Koln
Amsterdam
..and so much in between.

Here's a map to get your bearings - it might not be that clear, but if you click on it, you should get a bigger version.




Other stats:

- We travelled just under/over 2,700 miles (the speedos on the BMW and Jag don't seem to agree!)
- Both cars averaged around 30mpg at the beginning, but after we ditched the van (i.e. went over 60mph) and took a trip through the mountains, this levelled out at around 26/27 mpg. Not bad for a couple of old girls.
- 13 countries
- 4.5 tanks of fuel (at approx £80 per tank)

- One or two beers
