Driving from Estonia to Greece – a Europe road trip with our 12-year-old dog
We drove from Estonia to Greece with Alice, our 12-year-old Newfoundland. What was supposed to be a relaxed road trip with three overnight stops quickly went off track when our car broke down in Poland. Six days later, we finally reached the Peloponnese – with a few unexpected adventures and quite a few lessons learned along the way.
