Driving

Had a nice easy early morning before we head off on a very long drive through the best part of France towards Switzerland. We didn’t really factor in any visits as we wanted to make a bit of headway. We had to avoid Montpelier which was close to where we were. They have ULEZ charge so we couldn’t pass near. Gary had prebooked our campsite for that night which was around 5 hours away and wanted to be there for the 3pm footy kick off. That didn’t happen! I did the first section, just over 2 hours. We swapped. I managed to finish my rattle jacket for my oil bottle The town we drove through had lots of road closures so we got trapped, couldn’t get out. Exactly the same as last Sunday- must be a ’thing‘? There was us and lots of other cars just driving around in circles. The diversion signs weren’t helping either. Finally found out way out but this must’ve taken half an hour or so. A lot of time wasted. Cracked on but only for a bit as we had to swap again because the football was about to start. So I amused myself with the sights of the approaching alps and singing whilst Gary streamed the football to his phone. Not the most exciting of days but good to get quite a big hike of a drive (and France) out of the way. Arrived at our campsite for the night in La Ravoire conveniently just as the football finished. Made some dinner and went for a walk to the foot of the mountains to burn off some energy.
Bit more planning for the next few days crossing through Switzerland and the alps, a little bit of Liechtenstein plus Austria in to Germany by mid week hopefully.En savoir plus
