On our way!

Today we set off for 3 weeks in Tuscany! Not an exciting day, we left after lunch and drove to Munich (we are staying on the outskirts by the freeway). The drive was easy peasy (we definitely got lucky and we were going the right direction as there were so many places the other direction were backed up forever! The worst was probably an accident blocking all the lanes the other way and that was backed up with parked cars for at least 5km…luckily it didn’t look like a bad accident and the people were walking around getting all their things when we drove by so that was good). We got here earlier than I had expected (left a bit earlier and the traffic wasn’t bad in the construction spots where I thought it would be) so that was nice.

I had reserved a compact SUV for the drive so it would be comfortable and have enough room for all our things…but I showed up and they gave me a VW Golf…which is not a compact SUV! They were like I booked that class of car or similar and this is similar…which it is not. It is tiny, though all our things do fit in the trunk, but I feel like I am driving in a clown car. My legs don’t fit very well and it feels like my knees are bent up to my ears and I can’t move my legs around much…for shorter drives once we get there that will be fine, but Raymond will probably have to drive some tomorrow as it will be a long day of driving and I don’t think I can do that without longer breaks than we can afford! I need to be able to move my legs around!

Probably not much exciting tomorrow either, though if we get in before dark we might be able to see the lake we are staying by! We shall see! I am hoping we don’t get in too late and hopefully the traffic and such are not bad! Long day of driving then lots of days of exploring!Read more
