Date: Thursday 10th July
Staying: Steve and Myriams - Putney, London
Distance Travelled: 94 miles
Song of the day: Hold Tight London - Chemical Brothers
Its a symptom I think of life in London, that it took us as long to drive the few miles along the South Circular as it did to drive from Canterbury to the off ramp to the South Circular. It probably didn't help that we didn't want to come back to London, and could quite happily have driven around for another 3 months as there was so much we waned to see that we didn't.
But here we were, back in London, after a mammoth trip, which we can't wait to repeat in a few years time. For the record, here are the stats as I see them:
Days in Europe: 104
Travelling Days: 49
Total Distance: 8611.8 miles (13778.9 km's)
Average per travel day: 175.75 miles (281.2 km's)
Average per day: 82.8 miles (132.49 km's)
Longest Drive: 372.4 miles (595.84 km's) Cesky Krumlov - Berlin
Longest Bridge: 3.980 km's - Spain A3/E901, Madrid to Valencia
Longest Tunnel: 13.900 km's - Austria A4, south of Innsbruck
Most Scenic Route: Chamonix to Martigny
And few other bits and pieces:
Favourite City: Berlin, Germany
Favourite Place: Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
Favourite Campsite: Camping Fusina, Venice, Italy
Unexpected Highlight: Ostia Antica, Rome, Italy
Least Favourite City: Porto, Portugal - Le Havre, France
Least Favourite Place: Porec, Croatia
Unexpected Lowlight: Sorrento, Italy (I thought it would be nicer)
There will probably be more to come of these, cause Laurie will probably disagree.

Sorrento eh? Interesting - not that surprising though - of all the cities on (or near) the Amalfi Coast, it's my least favourite also - however, the Amalfi Coast itself is incredible - Positano is really cool and pretty, as is Amalfi itself (not quite so pretty, but had a soul), though a little rustic if anything.
Been reading, been following, been hoping to do a similar trip! Though you may not have wanted to come back to London, it's been great to have you back!
