If all goes according to plan we will leave our home town Knesselare, which is a very small village in the East of Flanders, on the 2nd of August 2012. We will travel using National Roads up to the lake of Geneva, where we will start a tour of 3 days to cross the French Alpes, based on the existing "Route des Grandes Alpes" or the "Great Alpione Road (in English)". Check this link if you want to learn more: http://www.losapos.com/great_alpine_road. After 3 days we should arrive in Menton, which is a city located in the South of France, close to the Italian border. Nice city, "du beau monde", a bit of sun, beach. That's what I call a good excuse to stay there for a while.
We calculated that it will take us about 9 to 10 days to do the whole trip. Hmmm ... that will be a lot of miles in a short timeframe ...
