This is Pascalcito standing in front of the broken car whilst our Europe Roadtrip.
The Breakdown
My buddy Pascalcito and me had a great Idea. Our plan was to go on a Europe Roadtrip from Zürich to Barcelona. Visit a handful of cities on the way and then along the coast through Cannes, Nice, and Monaco.
Excited for this adventure we hit the road early in the morning. After driving a couple of hundred meters the engine started to make strange noises. Suddenly Pascalcito couldn’t speed up the car anymore, so we took the next exit. On the first traffic light we stopped white smoke appeared in front of us, puffing right out of the bonnet! Was this the end of our Europe Roadtrip?
We couldn't wish for a better start. We called the breakdown service. After a short investigation we had the bad news: the engine is bust.
Called a taxi and headed to the airport in Geneva. As you might know taxi prices in Switzerland are tremendous. We payed 230 US dollars to get from our break down location to the airport, which already is probably more expensive than flying directly to Barcelona.
Anyways, the only car left was a spacious family-van. We loaded the van with our luggage and went back on the road with no plans at all.
