One more month to go!!!! To be honest - I think when the end comes,
we are going to be more than ready to get out of the campervan and
back into the real world. As enjoyable as its been, we are here for a
good time, not a long time.
It was a relatively early start for us this morning, as we had to
brave the Milan rush hour traffic, get Robyn to the airport and see
her off back to London. With that done without too many problems, it
was off towards France.
Leaving the Alps behind, we worked our way across the Italian plains,
through villages that while they had some charm, in that it felt like
you were stepping back 50 years with their narrow streets and old grey
houses, they also could have done with a bit of paint and just a
general clean up all around.
By the end of the day we made it back to the Alps - this time the ones
sitting on the Italian/French border. After stocking up on groceries
in Cuneo we found a road that we figured would give us one more view
from the tops as we drove up and over into France. However - it
wasn't to be!! Our map didn't quite tell us that this road cheats a
little by giving us a tunnel to enter France by. Whats more, they
have a crazy system of letting cars go both ways through the tunnel,
while the trucks and campervans have to wait for at least an hour.
Then they let all the trucks/campervans go from the opposite side, and
then finally it was our turn. Just as well too, cause it was getting
a bit dark by then, but we found a parking spot ok, once we were
through on the French side.
