Finish work tonight, Friday, at 22:00.
50 mins drive home, a cuppa, then I start packing the car.
Up early tomorrow morning, run some errands, tidy up the house, roof box on the car, a cuppa waiting for the wife to get back from her morning job and we hope to be on the road by 13:30.
ETA on site, near Salò - Lake Garda, 15:00 --- very handy living in northern Italy ... sometimes.
Am excited to be trying out our new ESVO cotton pyramid, we've been having 35°C+ temps this week. Safety warnings issued for the young and elderly ... it's bl%%dy hot!!

9 weeks tomorrow then off to the Ardeche, A couple of day or weekend trips before then though.  Thats one of the good things about living 20 mins from the tunnel.

4 weeks and 2 days then off to Martragny nr Bayeux. Its the first time for us camping as a family abroad, starting off gently! Hoping to eventually go further afield in France in future years. Have many happy memories of idyllic camping holidays in France as a child all round South of France.

 


Its a really nice site with plenty to do locally. Visit the Bayeux tapestry early. It opens at 10am and by lunchtime the queues are out the door and through the courtyard.
