Doing a road trip in a 2 seater convertible is way cool, fun and stylish but its size can be tricky to manage to fit everything in especially when going for a long trip. We have recently experienced a 2 month Europe Road Trip in a Mazda MX5 and we have shuffled the car upside down several times till we got it right, and we had the most efficient way to pack. #1 Separate the things which are used daily, which things that are used often and those that are used rarely or in case

Here, we give a detailed breakdown for all our costs in the 2 month Road Trip. We drove around Europe in a convertible 2-seater, and kept tr

Quality of Roads The quality of the roads in Italy are overall good. The highways as well as secondary roads are of good quality. Having said that the quality starts going down as you go more south. Until in Sicily the road quality, plummets to rock bottom. Highway tolls in Italy are the most expensive that we had to pay for the 11 countries we’ve visited in this 2 Month Europe Road trip. Tools are paid on each highway, rather than buy a bundle for a week. Tolls in the south

We passed through Italy because being from Malta, we had no other option. Italy is our gateway to Europe by land. Not that I’m complaining Italy is beautiful but very big, so that limits our time in other countries. The first time we started our 2 month road trip we drove through the east coast of Sicily all the way to Bari in 3 days. From Bari we bought a ferry ticket to Albania Durres for €190. This is where our journey had really begun. The second we entered Italy was from

Quality of Roads There might not be any sign of borders between Austria and other EU countries but the perfection of the roads makes you realise that you have started the road trip in this country. No matter which roads, be it highways or secondary roads Austrian’s roads are close to perfection. A road high up in the mountain wet with humidity still has good grip on the tyres making you feel comfortable when driving. Scenic Roads Austria is one of the best examples for scenic

Quality of Roads As soon as you enter from the Eastern side (Slovakia) you’ll notice that Secondary roads as well as highways are relatively bumpy. In Czech Republic, it seems that all roads are all under construction. This shows that at least action is being taken on the roads which aren’t of good quality, as they are being all reconstructed. We visited in September, which still formed part of their summer season, which makes it the ideal time for them to do road constructio

As part of our Europe Road Trip we spent 8 days in total in Czech Republic, Prague being our highest point reached in Europe. We entered Czech Republic from Slovakia after visiting 2 cities, both Bratislava and Vienna in 2 days and made our way to Brno. On the way we passed through Mikolov which is situated in a protected landscape area towards Lednice, which makes it a beautiful drive. We stopped in Lednice a beautiful village with a beautiful castle surrounded by a 200sqm

In total we only spent 4 days in Austria since it is very expensive especially when it comes to accommodation. This was the second time round in Austria as we entered Austria the first time to Vienna for the day from Bratislava and explored the 2 cities in 2 days. We second time we entered Austria from Cesky Krumlov in Czech Republic and our first stop was Linz where we based ourselves for the night. Linz was just our base for our next day’s long romantic drive through Austri

Our Europe road trip started in Albania, and as we headed North, the size of the countries was manageable. That did not happen in Hungary. Hungary was not as much fun about the actual driving in this road trip, but the experiences that we shared there will remain in our minds for a very long time. So what about driving in Hungary that doesn’t make it a great place to drive. The following questions have the answers. Are there good drivers in Hungary? Drivers in Hungary are mo

As part of our 2 month Europe Road Trip, we have made our way from Zagreb in Croatia to Ljubljana. Being a small country with many attractions on the west side of the country, Ljubljana makes it a good base to spend your days in Slovenia. The drive from Zagreb to Ljubljana, normally takes only 1 hr 45 minutes, however we opted for the 1 hour longer drive along the Sava River for a more scenic route. This is a beautiful drive, through picturesque roads, without traffic which m
