My most memorable road trip was driving to Maastricht norwegian discount cruise in the Nederlands to take my little sister to University.

We got some furniture, a bed, chest of drawers, desk, bookcase and then took it back to her house and up four flights of stairs. We spent the night building the furniture. The next morning I got up at 6.40am and drove ten and half hours home back to England!

Travelling from Scotland to England, the car broke down and had to be hand winched onto the back of the breakdown vehicle as no-one informed the rescue man that the car wasn t driveable.

2 weeks after passing my test, 3 friends and I squeezed into my little Ford KA and did a whistlestop tour of all our mates who were in first year at various Uni s around the country. We went from Hartlepool to London, to Oxford, to Cambridge, to Leeds and then home again, in the space of 48 hrs! All to a banging soundtrack of some classic late 90s indie anthems. Happy days!
Our top road trip. like many memorable events, happened entirely by accident.

We were not sure where we were going but didn t really care!
Picking up our hire car in San Fransico and heading down the coastal road to Los Angeles was amazing.

Driving norwegian discount cruise from Ontario through the national parks and lake district of Canada to Agawa Canyon, where the autumn leaf colours were absolutely amazing, and then down to Niagara Falls. Somehow, the tacky, norwegian discount cruise neon-lit surroundings failed to detract from the natural beauty and wonder of the place.
The best part of the whole experience though was that I made her buy her ticket for the flight norwegian discount cruise first, which was the last in economy. When I went to buy my ticket I found a First class ticket for $20 cheaper – my suffering was worth it!
My most memorable road trip was driving from the UK to Lake Garda, in Italy. We stopped overnight in the Swiss Alps (what a beautiful place!) and I ve never seen such a clear nights sky, it was like looking up into the wide open mouth of space. On the way home our car broke down in France (it wasn t a hire car!) and we had to sit in the middle of rural France with a steaming engine and no reception. That s the stuff memories are made of! Great competition!
