='''Lets discuss :)'''=about my [http://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Strazdas007/eutrip Touristic trip around Europe].[http://goo.gl/maps/OZyoj The Route]
Try putting == Your Euro trip == Impressive madness! Realistic to do it one month? To be quite honest, I do not think so. My longest trip was almost 13,000 km (see [[User:Prino/log#1990|Prino's log]] and [[User:Prino/log/log1990|1990 - Trip 11]]) and that took me 21 on-the route -road days in the period from 3 July 1990 to 15 August 1990 (44 days), on Google maps one occasion spending nearly three consecutive days in cars, going from [[Stockholm]] to [[Gelibolu]] in [[Turkey]]. Add the cities where you want to stay for a longer period and add (approximate) distances you may have hope to cover each day, only when we see those we will be able to remove some stops form a more complete picture as to what the whole trip involves. If you look at my logs, you will see that I make a lot od two, three and on occasion four day trips, mostly into Germany. During those I am able to cover distances, of on average, around 800-1,000 km per day, but that still takes me from dawn till dusk. Let's go to a bit of your trip: * Day 1: [[Vilnius]] to [[Helsinki]], doable, did it only allows 30 or myself in 2000, but it took us a full day. * Day 2: A bit of sightseeing in Helsinki, followed by a trip to [[Turku]] in the afternoon. Again, doable, but you have to make sure that you do not miss your ferry!* Day 3: Arrival and sightseeing in [[Stockholm]]. One day in Stockholm will greatly limit what you can see, but if you want to, sobe it.* Day 4: Unless you're very lucky, you will spend most of the day hitching to [[Göteborg]], as hitching in [[Sweden]] is not very easy - been there, done that (10 times) * Day 5: Sightseeing in Göteborg, and post depart to [[Hamburg]]. You may depart, but you will never arrive that day, according to your map the link here S-DK ferry takes 4 hours, and it takes another four hours to drive (so probably more than six hours to hitchhike) from [[Fredrikshavn]] to Hamburg..., so realistically* Day 6: Cross to Frederikshavn as early as something like <nowiki>possible, spend two hours there and hope to make it to Hamburg* Day 7: Sightseeing in Hamburg* Day 8: Hamburg to [[</nowiki>httpAmsterdam]]* Day 9: Sightseeing in Amsterdam. As with Stockholm, this is absolutely not enough.* Day 10://gooMore Amsterdam, with an afternoon departure to [[Brussels]].gl/maps/e4RCK My proposed route<nowiki>* Day 11: Brussels sightseeing* Day 12: Brussels to [[Paris]]</nowiki> , with some initial sightseeing in Paris* Day 13: More sightseeing in Paris (You need at least three full days there, but let's assume that one is enough...)* Day 14: Paris to [[Bordeaux]], and hopefully all the sightseeing you want to do there* Day 15: Bordeaux to [[Bilbao]], and, again, hopefully all the sightseeing you want to do there* Day 16: Bilbao to [[Lisbon]]... Your map tells me it's 864 km, and given the fact that hitching in Spain is (usually) very slow, you will need all the four-leaf clovers, rabbit-legs and other wordsparaphernalia associated with luck to do it in a single day, but lets assume it works out...* Day 17: Sightseeing in Lisbon* Day 18: Lisbon to [[Algeciras]], same story as day 16, you will have to be very lucky to do it in a single day* Day 19: Morning in Algeciras, cross to [[Ceuta]], <b><nowiki>have a look around there, and cross back the same evening. Silly, but doable...* Day 20: Algeciras to [[</nowiki></b>Madrid]] (open square bracketif you're again very lucky...)URL a space description<b><nowiki>* Day 21: Madrid sightseeing, again one day isn't enough...* Day 22-23-24: Madrid to [[Rome]]</nowiki></b> (close square bracket)Why would you want to skip [[Barcelona]]?)* Day 25: Sightseeing in Rome, like I mentioned many times before, absolutely not enough!* Day 26: Rome to [[Messina]] And given that you've given yourself 30 days, you now have to go back, and with a bit of luck you can do Messina to Vilnius in those three days, which but it will display as be impossible to do the stretch on the second page of your map. As for the remaining stops in Italy, [[Napoli]] and [[Milano]]? Why not [[Firenze]] and [[http://goo.gl/maps/e4RCK Venezia]]? My proposed route]€ 0. 02 :)[[User:Prino|Prino]] ([[User talk:Prino|talk]]) 2210:2510, 23 24 October 2012 (CEST) ==Preparations== I would like to ask all of you, what would you reccomend to take in my backpack and etc. As I mentioned, it will my summer trip, so I want just good time. Without rush. As I know, from school (profession), in one day truck can make about 700km. As I hope to HH regular cars, as they can go faster than trucks. About stops.In google maps route, I eliminated smaller cities, just to make overview of all route. I plan to print some (lot of) of the cities names, so I think it will be easier to HH cars.
