This book is a good example of a travel dairy, while obviously not intended as a "how to" book there are nevertheless many hints and tips offered to the observant reader wishing to undertake a similar journey. But don't buy it if you expect step by strep instructions on motorhoming in Europe - if you need that much instruction perhaps you should stay at home.

Having undertaken a similar journey myself I enjoyed the opportunity to remember and reminisce which the descriptive style of this book offers. Scattered with personal opinions and observations which lift it beyond a mere "travel brochure" I found it an enjoyable and easy read - recommended.

Just a small last point, it's a pity that the photos on the author's web site are too small to appreciate.

This book gives you the real inside story of what its like to up sticks, with your children, and take a gap year travelling through europe together. Alongside useful information about cities and local areas you also have the ups and downs, that are sometimes very funny, the good and the bad times, and the people you could meet, which all comes with daily travel. A list of campsites is also included. Don't expect this book to tell you 'how' to take a gap year with your family - just read what happens to this family when they do!
