Well guys,

It's time to bring this topic back from the dead,

Im embarking on a ~4,000km road trip though Albania, Maceodoina, Bulgaria, and Maybe Turkey. Along the trip I plan to stop at a few ski areas and do some hiking and or mountain biking. I will be gone for 7-14 days.


I'm looking forward to it and praying to god that my car makes it.

My fuel budget is 3k euros. Will be interesting to see how much I have left when it's over.

Hasn't your SDS (Snow Deprivation Syndrome) kicked in yet? :blink:

It's summer in those countries, so there's no snow! You should go to Australia, New Zealand and Argentina and get some skiing in, so you can put off the debilitating onset of SDS for a few more months. :biggrin:

Too has two meanings, to state an excessive amount you may use too with two "o"s too.

OK -we agree to two toos.

But wait - what about tu? Tu is the 2nd-person singular subject pronoun in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, Irish, Latvian, Romanian, Latin, and Hindustani.
It could also mean 1/2 of a tutu, though they are seldom separated - suggesting that we should agree TO TWO TUs TOO. (In text-speak, that might be: 222s2 !)

Every country in the English speaking world (except the United States) spells that word three ways according to it's meaning:

I'll check in later ... or ...
I'll send you a cheque for the money I'll owe you ... or...

Well guys,

I have decided that I'm going to drive to Amsterdam and then on to London and then go though Italy on my way back to Greece.

I may stop along the way and visit a ski area or two if it's not too far off the main highway but not 100% sure yet.

Be sure to take pictures every 100 km or so and post them here to show us where you've been.

Please show yourself holding a the front page of a newspaper in each of them
