I'm also pondering about a (separate) road trip from the UK, heading down to Italy and then across on the ferry to Albania: https://wiki.earth.li/DebconfTravel2022#Driving That will likely take about the same time, cost a little more but also avoid quite so many different countries for the covid/visa/etc. rules. I've not yet started looking in details at those rules, but I *hope* by this summer that covid rules will be much easier within Europe at least. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
