Yippee ! Look out France & Italy !!!

Looks great, would not miss Dolomite's and might be worth topping fuel up in Luxembourg on the way back . We also called in on Ypres on way back . Very moving, great architecture and Belgian beer
 
Glad you have finally got the passport problem sorted. Have a great time.
 
Your setting off just as we come home. (Ferry from Calais on Friday). Routes look great, have a fantastic time. We found France to be expensive for most things not in a supermarket, Italy less so other than the cost of diesel which at times was eye wateringly expensive. Beware of the garages that don’t seem to show their costs!
 
Well done Phil and Nida! You must be so happy and relieved that all the worry and hassle is over... now go and have lots of fun :wave:
 
Did a similar route a few years back but cut across to Fussen and upto Wurzburg,then across to Koblenz and down to Trier

Italy today

Last night at Termignon.
Wonderful drive on D1006 via Col de Cenis. Then on to Susa...Sosta near centre 7 euros.
 
Italy 1 continued

Long drive (timewise) to Cuneo a lovely city with a free sosta (with EHU).
All that is said about poor Italian road surfaces is true !
Used Toll roads to Mallare (small village). Then heeding advice Mway to La Spezia for 2 nights and a visit to Riomaggiore (Cinque Terre)
Next to Pizza (Sorry Pisa) again 2 nights walk to the centre and Torre...Simply delightful/historical.
Next to Florence via Vinci.
Then on to Greve in Chianti (nice sosta) and the Torrenieri (good car-park) for 2 nights
Again toll roads the order of the day but pricing OK.
Next to Bomarzo and the Monsters and on to Cerveteri and an OK carpark.
South and west of Rome to Latina and
Museo Storico Piana delle Orme as advised by "Clunegapyears" an excellent museum and much more than just WW2 and Anzio
One of the best museums I have visited.

We then "Sped to Napoli"... well speeding for use is spells at 58-62 mph.
To a Dometic/MoHo garage.....We arrived at 3:30 and they identified and repaired the "burnt out gas burner"
80euros labour 80 for the part.
Then a nightmare "twisted spaghetti" route to our campsite during rush hour near the centre of Napoli with Italian drivers maintaining their reputation !!!
Today
A rest day at the sosta which is almost as good as a camp-site.
Sorry no images on web-site yet internet a bit slow !:beer:
