Finally Florence
21. September 2024 in Italien ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Installed on a very acceptable campsite in time to catch the bus to explore Florence in the afternoon. The Duomo and all around, the Palazzo Vecchio with all its history and the Ponte Vecchio.
Moving north, Albinea

Goodbye to Florence, a couple of hours driving in fairly heavy traffic, some shopping and we are just south of Reggio Emilia. This is because is has the best weather forecast for possible stops on theWeiterlesen
A sunny walk
26. September 2024 in Italien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Time to redress the balance between culture and countryside as the latter has been sadly neglected. A good 12 miles or so with a lot of climbing and extensive views northwards over the plain. Time forWeiterlesen
And a walk to the partisans' lookout
27. September 2024 in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
A beautiful walk along a river, with a steep climb through vineyards to reach the highest point, used as a watch point during the war. A seriously steep and skiddy descent and some dismay when itWeiterlesen
Just wrong side of St Gotthard tunnel
28. September 2024 in der Schweiz ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
There's a view out there somewhere. The other photo shows the Italian morning.
Better when not seen through heavy rain
29. September 2024 in der Schweiz ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
It's a good thing it stopped raining as we were able to drive out without getting stuck in the muddy ruts that are artfully excluded from the photo. It was only 7 ° c though.
In and out of Germany

France for lunch
29. September 2024 in Frankreich ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Pretty good view of Les Ballons des Vosges from the motorway aire.
Back in Germany
29. September 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
We're not used to living on national borders so it still seems odd to travel through a sequence of countries such as Switzerland, Germany, France, Germany, with Luxembourg, Belgium and France to comeWeiterlesen
Chilly Calais
30. September 2024 in Frankreich ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
Warmly installed on a site, 40mph winds outside after a day spent driving through fog then rain. Gin, risotto and wine to come inside our cosy van.
The last of the gin...
1. Oktober 2024 in Frankreich ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
A pre-lunch drink empties the bottle.
Home to Hereford
1. Oktober 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Back home after three days of driving in the rain and, finally, some very annoying diversions round the bumpy lanes of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. It was worth it- we had a wonderful month.
