It’s Not The End That Counts, It’s How You Get There! Road Tripping Travel…
If you want that life changing journey but the possibilities seem endless, let this article influence your decision.
Big Sur, California – USA
The well-known American highway ‘Route 1′ stretches along the length of the state of California. One part of the journey that always has high praise is Big Sur where it’s definitely beneficial to just stop and take in the breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean and the striking cliffs that blend effortlessly into the surroundings.
The Blues Highway – USA
If you’re a fan of the Blues there can be no better road trip than the Highway 61 – the Blues highway. The trip starts in Memphis and finishes in Vicksburg. Along the way you’ll find some soulful blues clubs that have been playing live Blues since the day the genre materialised around the end of the 19th century. Another element of the trip that will compete for your affection is the world famous BBQ joints that are considered some of the best in the world. Experiencing both these localities will transform the road trip from a trip, to a life changing journey.
Scottish Highlands – Scotland
Every rural road in Scotland is seemingly made for a road trip. The high mountainous views make it impossible to keep your eye on the tarmac. Your journey could take you through the winding roads of Glen Coe nearing the highest peak of Great Britain – Ben Nevis. Where you could take an eight hour stroll up and down if driving through this beautiful scenery is too quick to take in.
Romantic Road – Germany
This medieval road trip through Germany was once a prosperous trading route and it now personifies an era of German history. This route passes a variety of different picturesque villages, gothic cathedrals and historic buildings that make this trip one to remember.
Mille Miglia – Italy
This route was planned by two Italian motor sport enthusiasts in 1927. These Italians wanted to set up an endurance race through the heart of Italy. The race was eventually banned in 1957 due to some fatal crashes. However the 1000 mile route gained popularity in later years as a tourist route, allowing drivers to witness the tantalising views of northern Italy.
Whether your perfect road trip involves Campervan hire or the hiring of a convertible Ford Mustang, make sure you pick the route that’s right for you.
