Aye, a 33bhp license counts as full for this, but no L plates and 125 though. I believe you would be alright if you were 17 with an A2 license, but check this.

If you had an A2 licence you'd be fine, as long as it's not a CBT. Then again, who wants to tour Europe on a 125 lol

Just remember one thing when touring the continent Switzerland is not in the EEC and has different regulations which they enforce very strictly.So anybody thinking of using Switzerland as a cut through keep this in mind and check beforehand

Looking at your route I'd head south to Namur, then through the Ardennes/Eifel region to Koblenz, a lot nicer than the flat featureless roads and highways you've currently got. If you don't you'll kick yourself, there are some great roads. If you want any more detailed route suggestions I'd be happy to oblige.
