Departing Faringdon, Oxfordshire for Dover, then to Calais to Dijon onto Lausanne to stop at Lake Geneva. Departing the next day to Montreux up the foothills of the Swiss Alps to Col Saint Bernard (yes, OVER the alps) then descending down to Asti to an Agritourismo for the second night where much wine was consumed. Hitting the road for the third day to Torino then Rimini right down to Pedaso. Where we stayed with Lis in her gorgeous farmhouse with Tillmann, Andy and Maddy and bummed about on the beach for 2 weeks, ate lots of parma ham with figs, pizza and many bottles of great prosecco and then got back in the Bug and came back via Torino, drove through the Frejus tunnel underneath the Alps to Grenoble to Dijon onto Reims, then Calais to Dover and arriving home in Faringdon some 2800 miles later. HOLIDAY!
