Just over a week to go before we embark on our big family adventure to Europe.

We're starting to get excited, but also wondering how we'll all manage under each others feet for 8 weeks (expecially travelling through France in a Campervan!).

A quick synopsis of our trip:

We arrive in Milan, Italy and head North for a few days on Lake Como.
We then leave Italy - you may be thinking that we're mad to leave Italy so soon, but don't worry, we do come back later on!

We head up into Switzerland, visitng lakes and mountains and staying in Lucerne, Brienz, and lastly Zermatt, before leaving Switzerland and heading to Paris, France.

After checking out the sites in Paris, we head off by Campervan first North to Normandy, then the Loire Valley, Bordeaux, Lot and a touch of Provence, before returning the Campervan in Nice.

From Nice we leave France and head into Italy to Cinque-Terre UNESCO site, then inland to Parma for a food experience, up to Venice, then back down through Tuscany to Rome.

We look forward to recording our experience here, and hope you enjoying reading about our trip.

We'll have Wifi for the Swiss and Italian legs, but not so much in France, so updates during that period may be a bit intermitent,
