We're planning, all being well, to leave on 18th September & travel to Zeebrugge via Hull then after a few days in Holland we want to travel down through Belgium & the east coast of France, hugging the coast along the South of France, down east coast of Spain, South of Spain & planning to arrive in Vilamoura, Portugal around the 20th October to meet with friends who've booked a hotel. From Holland I've worked out on the AA Autoroute that it's about 50 odd hours driving from Holland, avoiding motorways.
1) Has anyone else done this?
2) Does anyone know if the roads are ok to do this as we prefer to stick to roads with scenery rather than getting there quicker.
3) Are there any mountainous roads involved with cliffs as I'm terrified of driving along with steep drops beside me.
4) Does anyone know of a good campsite in or near Vilamoura - my friend stayed last year & said there were lots of motorhomes right beside the beach beside her hotel (Crowne Plaza) but I'm wondering if it's still ok to do that. The only campsite she saw was in Quartiera and she wasn't impressed with it & googling hasn't shown up anything much either.
5) The route home will be up the west coast of Portugal & the west coast of France so any good recommendations for sites or aires appreciated.
6) Any other tips gladly accepted.
