Almost There

Well this trip has been a long time in the making. We have been putting this trip together for over 6 months and at times it has consumed me. We haven't left yet but I already regret trying to squeeze too much into four weeks. For me it will be my 4th trip to Europe, but the last one of those was 10 years ago. Baz (Dad) hasn't been to Europe since 1993, when we both went to England. It is amazing how time has moved so fast since then. My other trips to Europe was in quite quick succession.
Whilst I am not going to any new countries in this trip (ha that sounds like the last trip), I am looking looking forward to seeing more of Paris and Rome that I missed out on doing on my last two trips for various reasons- many out of my control. I can't wait to see Cinque Terre. Back in 2002 I can remember seeing flashes of the Villages as the train raced in and out of the tunnels on the way to Genoa.
We have hired a Motorhome for one of the weeks away and are going to follow the Giro d'Italia for a week. I am looking forward to it, but for anyone who has driven or been a passenger in a car in Italy know that it is hectic and crazy.

Here is a picture of the last time we were both in Europe together.

    Remember if you cross the border in a Motorhome don't let them take your passports into their offices to check them out. I am sure there are a few dodgy people out there with my husbands and my profile. Good Luck with it all and looking forward to hearing the journey.
