Since things in my line of work are likely to be very quiet for the immediate future (perhaps permanently), I’m tempted to take a few months out and see some friends around Europe and all the great places I’ve missed so far.
I’ll be packing a bike, walking boots, climbing shoes and a tent into my car. So, with three months to spend in Europe, what are your top five suggestions for places to go and things to do?
My shortlist at the moment is:
– NW Spain and the Asturias, perhaps via the Camino de Santiago de Compostela
– hiking some of the GRs, perhaps some sections of the Via Alpina (can GRs be biked at all?)
– riding in Slovenia
– Bologna, not sure why, but the home of bolognese and Umberto Eco can’t be that bad
– driving across the Millau viaduct or the Oresund bridge (Denmark to Sweden)
What would you do?
