Am in Sistriere between Italy and France, stopped for a coffee and croissant, last money ion Italy. Robbing b*****ds-only stopped here cos a car rally was on.petrol 1.60 a litre and 20 quid tolls! Some of my blood too f**king mozzies. Look like the Elephant Man!So its 400km since Turin-oops I did it again! Easy to miss motorway bypass and go through centre by mistake. Not as bad as in 2003 as that was Friday teatime (he got stuck in circles in baking heat going bananas in his helmet cos he couldnt get out of the place then! Angie)This is Sunday Morning so much better-thank crunchie!Ended up trailing round an Arab bazaar/car boot, hmmmm-interesting!Back on motorway into Alps for Sestriere-vintage car rally on so detour to Briancon and lovely France
The road to Gap is fantastic with a great Alpine Restaurant Le Chalet Du Lac at La Roche de Rame[b]http://www.france-voyage.com/hotels-guide/...aise-191523.htmHas its own lake! (you just know what will be coming don't you..........? Angie)Had dinner and a [b]swim (I just knew he wouldn't be able to resist it! Angie)Been mixing it with some crazy Brits on a gumball type rally thing-cars all covered in fur-great!Finishing off with bottom of Route Napoleon towards Grasse and my friend Phillipe.Arrived at Phillipe's place in Seillans (Its a few miles West of Grasse-Angie)18.30 after 12 hours-good to be with someone again instead of alone-mebbe not such a lone wolf after all!A couple of weeks...er..DAYS rest then......................stay tuned folks!
