Driving to Icmeler

Postby ScottishGuy » 17 Dec 2006 20:58

My sense of adventure has taken over my sensibility consciousness and me and a couple of mates got talking about the implications of driving from Edinburgh, Scotland to Icmeler, Turkey.

--> Overall cost between 4 people
--> Legal driving age in different countries (I'm not 21 until Feb '08!)
--> Sensible length of driving and swapping drivers
--> Would 3 weeks off work be enough - 3 days driving each way, 2 weeks in Turkey, A few days leftover for visiting other places.

Any thoughts, suggestions, advice would be appreciated.

Many Thanks in Advance
