Europe Part 1 - Four Thousand Kms. In Two Months

June 25, 2011 marked our second month RVing in Europe.  My husband and I started our journey in Gazoldo degli Ippolitti, Mantova, Italy on April 25 and to complete our Europe Part 1, we decided to go back before heading on to Europe Part 2.  We spent a few days in my niece's home and on July 1, we left again with a determination to see Scandinavian countries.

We have travelled 4014 kms in two months, visiting the many communes, towns and cities of Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Germany and France.  We have seen several world famous lakes and rivers and the deep blue seas of the Mediterranean in the French and Italian rivieras.


As RVers, our primary concern is our personal safety due to the fact that we are free or wild campers.   Going to private campsites would cost us Euros600 easily per month and to avoid this cost, a lot of long time RVers, as per my research, choose to not pay and go wild camping.  As wild campers, we have parked and slept in different sorts of places like mall parking lot, McDonalds parking, street parking and big supermarkets parking like ELeclerc, Casino, Carrefour and Auchan.  We are glad to report that we were safe the whole time, no incidents of break-in whatsoever.

It was a beautiful and wonderful two months RVing experience in Europe.
