However, it would take a lot longer for me to traverse an equivalent distance through Europe, because of Europe's history that goes back millennia through the Romans and far earlier. I would probably fly into one end of the route and fly home from the other. Even so, spending two weeks going one way would still not be enough time.<br /><br />After having seen the film "The Way" (honouring the Camino de Santiago) there is so much in Europe, and even more around the world, that I want to spend the rest of my life seeing as much as possible of the world, and possibly beyond.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-57269771756727252612012-09-18T08:36:05.685-04:002012-09-18T08:36:05.685-04:00Sorry, what I meant was, that you covered but a sm...Sorry, what I meant was, that you covered but a small part of your home-country. Over here, those distances seem so huge. One always forgets how large the USA are. Even the lower 49 cover the whole of middle and eastern europe, the mediterranean and part of northern africa!Alexhttp://www.outdoor-professionell.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-26105485417578463242012-09-18T08:00:41.254-04:002012-09-18T08:00:41.254-04:00I'm not sure what you mean.

I'd also make a side trip from Munich through Switzerland into Italy to cross the Alps, which should be quite interesting.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-39885646688018354682012-09-18T00:35:18.942-04:002012-09-18T00:35:18.942-04:00What amazes me is the sheer distance been driving....What amazes me is the sheer distance been driving. By comparison, taking a road trip from Kopenhagen/Denmark to Palermo/Sicily and back is only about 5200 Km. Thats a measly 3200 miles!
