Methinks you have caught the Euro bug, for which there maybe no known cure.
Well now you know the secret, it’s better over the water. but remember to start getting your stock of continental trucking stories to tell in those long hours waiting for a bacon butty in a bleak, wet, wind swept layby.

i only mucked up once
That WASN’T a muck up, it was a slight detour due to unforeseen circumstances (or something similar)
(The only witness anyone will speak to was you, so who’s to say different ■■)
Glad you enjoyed your first trip and your looking forward to the next one.
A photo diary would be great, a written diary would be almost as great and equally welcome. First trip stories are always good.
i loved it would like to do euro all the time as it was a real eye opener for me
