I'm so done with the Netherlands. A friend and I are trying to plan an 8 day European roadtrip with me as the solo driver, but that's barely enough time to drive to the south of France. It takes such a long time before you reach anything that resembles nature here. #rant

@Gina you can get to the southern France in one day, but you won't see anything on the way.That said, in my opinion Southern France is so much better than the Northern part that you won't miss much anyway. 😂

@Gina Germany has a lot of nature. At least around Leipzig, might be worth checking out 🙂

@GinaTried looking at the Germany Poland border under Berlin, or even further south? It should be about an 8 hour drive at most. The nature is awesome.

@Gina You should visit Portugal. It's a small country you can almost visit in a week holiday and you'll have plenty of nature to explore. And, in the end, you'll want to return because you'll find out that you're barely seen all it has to offer you regarding natural and cultural beauties! And we're that friendly! 😁

@blacklight447 Amsterdam. About 13h unfortunately, which would be split into two days. Which means that half of the vacation (4 days) would be spend by me driving.

@blacklight447 ok fair enough, it doesn't have to be all the way to the French Riviera. But other places more land inward are also easily 10+ hours away, like Chamonix, Gorges du Verdon, Bordeaux or Biarritz.

@Gina what we always did was leaving the night before and driving all night and arrive somewhere in the morning. That way you can enjoy the rest of the day ( even tho you can be tired) and as a bonus, there is way less traffic to deal with, so you can cover quite a lot of km in a relatively short time)

@GinaI wasn't talking about peasant traveling. I was just saying that, here, you can still find very well preserved places, almost wild, I should say. For example, in Alentejo you can enjoy the longest "wildest" and unspoiled Atlantic coast.@11112011@freespeechextremist.com

@Gina I'd say come to America, but you can't drive here at all, let alone in 8 days. Plenty of nature where I'm from. Some where I live too, but very different.

@Gina @v4ngu4rd I think one day would be enough to get either to the south of France or northern Italy, than then in 6 days you can move around a lot as everything is pretty close in both places (main issue might be with choice overload ;) ). Sleeping somewhere different every night would be painless and that would leave an extra day for the final leg home. I’d say go for it!

@GinaI've driven round a lot of Europe & found southern Germany/Switzerland/Austria is beautiful. However, I find Queensland, Australia to be more full of nature. You'd be welcome here - once it opens up!

@Gina @v4ngu4rd sure there’s a long stint to get to either Italy or SF, but once you’re here (or there) it’s less than an hour drive to get to most places
