This is the last entry in the Helton’s European trip blog. As you can see from the date this was posted it falls quite a bit after our return on January 9, 2009. But I’m glad to finally complete these last few entries and bring the trip to an official close.
It was a wonderful adventure for our family and putting this blog together was a great adventure for me and a great opportunity for our family to share some of what we experienced during our trip with our family and friends.

After saying our goodbyes to the Kerwers, we headed up to the Frankfurt airport, or more specifically, a Holiday Inn near the airport that was the designated Auto-Europe pick up and drop-off point for their vehicles. A shuttle transported us from here to the terminal and our departure gate.
In this photo Allister and Charlotte stand beside our trusty Jean-Pierre Peugeot who had been our reliable companion for the previous 4 months.
Jean-Pierre had about 11 kilometres when we picked him up and here you can see the final tally from our trip – 17, 424 kilometres!
Allister and Charlotte say goodbye to Jean-Pierre properly. We hope Auto-Europe and Peugeot found him a good home…
And then we were off to the airport to board the plane for the long trip to Vancouver and then the ferry to Victoria and home.
