Driving through Austria & Switzerland (Not much though) Not stopping.

IMHO - you are seriously missing out by not stopping, the hospitality and quality is 2nd to none. Our 1st Europe trip was based around a road and a town in Austria and wish we could have stayed more than 1 night there, but our itinery was tight.

The roads around the Grossglockner are superb... :coolsteer)

Just one thing Jim, i would stay at Berck Sur Mer instead of Calais, its only about 40 mins away and isnt just a Ferry Port.
Just a thought mate.

Good point Bill, we will be booking this stop on the day, so Calais was just a finishing point.

There is a Mister Bed just on hte outskirts of Berck, cheap hotel but clean and they was building a restaraunt just of the car park, its also right next to a small retail park, its on the grade of a Travelodge and there are some nice cake shops in Berck with the biggest Meringues you have seen :)
