That superb leader, Angela Merkel said recently that Europe has 7% of the world's population but over 50% of its welfare spending - speaks volumes doesn't it

Going back to the original post, god, i have to agree with the title. I am here in Sweden and just decided to drive to Norway to have lunch opposite a stunning fjord. Next, i am thinking maybe Finland for a day out

On the flipside of this, and from a selfish POV, because we have virtually no family here, we can actually have proper holidays. Back in the UK, we couldn't go anywhere because our holidays were spent visiting family in Scotland and Ireland. MIL is visiting this year, but next year, we can plan a holiday, possibly to New Zealand Even weekend trips away were hard in the UK because of the expectation of visiting the grandparents if we had a free weekend.

Heck, if I had thought of this a week ago I would even be crossing between two different time zones... almost sounds exotic.
Just kidding, I know exactly what you're feeling and miss the closeness of Europe and how you can just skip over somewhere in a flash.
