Arrived in Arona

We’ve arrived to our first stop on the first leg of the 3-month trek through Europe.  It all started at one of the most southern points (Malta) of Europe and will reach out to the most northern in the Swedish laplands.

Arona is one of my favorite places and it made sense to start the journey here.  It’s got to be one of the most relaxing places in Europe.  Can’t speak enough about it.  Thanks to a fellow Tesla driver for introducing it to me when I picked the car up in Tilburg last August.

The first part was difficult. Two ferries and 40 hours later we arrived which is no easy feat with a 3 and 5 year old . More about that soon.

                 

   

 

From Malta to the Laplands

We’re about to embark on a 3 month family road trip in our Tesla from one of the most southern points of Europe to one of the most northern.  We’ll be using Superchargers along the way.

We leave Malta tomorrow at 5am and board the Virtu Ferry to Sicily. From Sicily we’ll disembark from Palermo aboard the GNV ferry to Genoa.  Once in Genoa, we’ll make our way to a B&B in Arona and that’ll be our first real stop. From there, we’ll figure out where to next. The idea is to go to Innsbruck, but we might just head over to Lyon instead and loop back over towards Austria later. We prefer spontaneity, however, one thing is certain, we’ll be making our way up towards the northern part of Sweden and back.

The idea is go go through Northern Italy, head towards France and then back through Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and through Germany (Dresden, Regensburg, Heidelberg, Berlin, Hamburg), Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and finally the UK).  We are moving from Malta to Cayman Islands so we are going to try to end the leg selling the Tesla in the UK (so we can repurchase an American version in Cayman).
