Stage 4 complete - Halfway Home!

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

I have made it to Metz in northern France. Even with the lift I got in Italy / Switzerland to clear the dangerous roads, I am over the 500 miles mark. In fact, I think I’m further past it than first intended as my routes have not followed the major roads which I plotted. Instead I’ve taken a lot of back country roads which wind a lot, so I’d almost say I’m back on course!

Still, half way is half way and I’ve still got five countries (including Blighty) to go. I should be in Luxembourg… and back out of it… soon, then on to Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

A huge thank you again to all the folk on couchsurfing.com who have made my life a lot easier, cheaper and more interesting!
