Back in Rambouillet – Final Count: 9649 kilometers

At the beginning of our trip, I had no idea how many kilometers it will be at the end… But that it would have been a lot, this has been clear from the beginning.

We arrived Sunday evening back home in Rambouillet after a 6.5 hours drive… which seemed to be rather short in comparison with the daily driving action we had in the last two weeks!

We had a brilliant time in the States, were never unsafe or not welcome. Certainly an experience that was worth doing it… And that could be done again!

Two things are still missing to finalize our blog activity for this year – a statistics overview of our trip as well as additional photos and videos.

Stay tuned! 🙂
