4 June
Finally got the scooter back at 10.00 a.m. but then the heavens opened so we decided to stay put until 3.00 p.m. Drove 50 miles to Rimini. This was all a bit harrowing with Italian drivers living up to their reputation - 40 ton trucks six feet behind us and doing 60 mph. Anyway, we finally arrived in one piece and found a nice but cheap hotel with an English landlady.
Never seen so many sunbeds on a beach - must be thousands!Glad it’s not high season!
7 June
Still not found an internet café so having to do text updates. We are stopping tonight in Briancon in the Alps. This is a stunning place but you would never know if just driving through. A little stream runs down the centre and the buildings are beautiful. We are sitting in a bar with a log fire – yes I know it is June! It is raining outside. Just had vegetable soup and waiting the arrival of a lamb curry. Another good find and an English chef!
This detour was due to Moncenis Pass being blocked by a landslide
Anyone for skiing!
