Vox Civitatis is going to the European Union in the fall. my good friend Henry has plotted out a road trip that will take us through five countries in about as many days. Sounds insane, yes, but apparently it's payback for a road trip I took him on, through the great American desert. I'll also be spending a few days in Madrid, a city I've always wanted to see. While in a perfect world I'd have six weeks to roam Spain, it will be nice to genuflect before Guernica and Las Meninas before heading to Austria for eight days. That alone will be worth the airfare.
As for the road trip, our general plan (I think) is as follows:
Day 1: A scenic drive through Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. Arrive Zurich late afternoon.
Day 2: A liesurely short drive from Zurich to Geneva via Bern and Lausanne. After spending some time in Geneva, proceed to Lyon, France, for the evening.
Day 3: Lyon
Day 4: Head to Geneva early. Spend some time in Geneva and proceed to Verona. We may or may not spend the evening in Verona before returning to Graz, Austria.
I can't wait! Thank you for putting this together, Henry.

Just remember, you're not American, you're Canadian.
We're also dipping a toe into Germany - six countries! Should be about the same milage as we did in November. Sounds fair? :-)
Awesome! I'm sure you'll have a great time and have some fabulous pictures and tales to tell!
