European road trips are not only fun but also add a certain sense of adventure as switching between countries (going back and forth) is feasible due to the short distances and the proximity of borders. You can take your pick and choose the type of cuisine you would like for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The borders between Konstanz (Germany) and Switzerland are extremely close. It should not take any more than a few minutes to get through them. It took us thirty nine minutes due to the road construction. It was natural to conclude that the world’s cranes are not all solely distributed between Dubai and Beijing.
These days a lot of people are tempted to fly from one place to another because of the amount of cheap flights there are around. Others love the sense of adventure you get from going on a road trip. The memories you will make doing it and the experience you will have are second to none. There are of course certain problems but one thing the road traveller need not to worry about is where his next meal would come from as the 'Golden Arches' are literally all over - which makes me wonder how the Europeans stay so slim? Ah! The power of America or is it globalization??

When packing to go on a road trip, it is essential to have the following:
-A box of tissues (Kleenex) to take with you at every bathroom stop
-Wet Ones(or the equivalent Purell). It is amazing how often we feel the need to wash our hands
or the equivalent “Purell” -Drinking water (saves you paying anywhere between 5-7 Euros at the hotel)
-Batteries mainly double AA’s (for some reason, there always seem to be a need for them)
-A flash light
-Some apples (they travel well and last)
-A pack of Pretzels (healthier than chips)
-cotton pads
-Q tips
-soap
The last three items do come in handy as hotel soap bars tend to be tiny sometimes. As for the supply of cotton pads and Q tips, there are never enough for some reason.
