Here we go, tour stats.
Ginny and I covered 6,838km / 4,249 road miles, door to door. The Brindisi ferry to Igoumenitsa journey was 265.6km / 165 miles. Whilst the ferry across the Danube was 160m / 175 yds.
I made 27 fuel stops and Ginny used 307.74 litres of fuel / 67.69 gallons, at an average of 12.79 miles per litre / 58.15 miles per gallon. Bests were, 14.70 miles per litre / 66.81 miles per gallon.
Fuel costs amounted to €496.27 / £418.71
Ginny also used about 300ml of oil and 3-400ml of coolant (topped up after the episode in Karditsa)
Grizzly and I were away for 23 nights together, staying in 19 different hotels and 1 overnight ferry. We had 3 sightseeing days in Olympia, Athens and Nuremberg.
We stayed in or passed through, 11 different countries, stopped at 4 LIDLs (one for my daughter 😉) and despite being in Italy longer than either Austria or Germany, I had more schnitzel than pizza! The main personal stat that you are more than aware of though, is the 54 (I miscounted) beers I consumed! 🍻 After a long day in the saddle in 30+ degrees, a cold beer is heaven.
My total cost for the tour, including fuel, hotels and meals was €2,520 / £2,003, excluding undocumented lunchtime snacks/drinks, which equates to approximately €110 / £87 per night. Where else can you get a fully guided tour of Europe for that price, eh? I'm sure Grizzly will consider it a bargain.
Before I go, it's Conundrum Time.
Grizzly ran into an old man in Greece, damaging his bike but didn't fall off. He tripped over my big toe on the way back from dinner in Nuremberg and went arse over tit! 😂 Go figure.

Think that's all the figures I can come up with and probably all you can stomach now, so until the next blog, BYE FOR NOW
