a few reflections on the trip so far...


We have covered 1730 miles so far In our 2008 Mark 3 Mazda MX5 (Rob at Diss Car Centre, it's a cracker!!).

We have been through these countries so far:

England 🇬🇧 
France 🇫🇷 
Belgium 🇧🇪 
Luxembourg 🇱🇺 
Germany 🇩🇪 
Austria 🇦🇹 
France (again) 🇫🇷 
Italy 🇮🇹 

So 7 so far....

The most exciting driving day was through the Dolomites

We have reached Martina Franca, in Puglia, at the heel of Italy, where we are taking 4 days in a lovely property with a pool to see and get to know the area better.

From here we head North, via:

The Amalfi coast
Florence
Sienna
Milan
Chamonix
Thiat, to spend time with friends to celebrate Bernadette's birthday
Orleans
Calais, where we rejoin the Tunnel

on a trip like this you realise more and more that the journey matters more than the destination and the people you share the experience with matter greatly...

I am a very lucky man.

Let the adventures continue for many years Tracey, Carpe Diem!
