Summer Road Trip in Europe From Champagne to Sardinia!
Our little family had 18 days to get from Reims in the Champagne region of France, to Sardinia off the coast of Southern Italy and back again, in our car, loaded with snacks on the way down, and acquired treats on the way back. For example, Italian shoes that fit me really well, an array of tasty French wines, and some lovely French books and toys for little Klowski. The rules of our road trip were: 1. No more than three hours driving in a day 2. No early mornings other than the ferry back from Sardinia 3. To see or do something in a new place each day during the road trip 4. To maintain a ban on videos in the car, so Klowski doesn't become a TV zombie 5. To stay in one place for 5 nights in Sardinia - a holiday from our holiday so to speak! Our route South included the Swiss Alps, Italian and French rivieras, and Tuscany, with an overnight ferry to Sardinia from Livorno. Our return ferry to Toulon in France allowed us to take in Provence and the French Alps befo
