The total distance we covered on our road trip was 4,218 miles (6,890 kilometres). The car only broke down once and we managed to see a good portion of France, and part of Northern Italy.
I loved France, especially Brittany and Normandy, and can't wait to visit Paris in a few weeks. I also have plans to go back to Italy to see Venice, Rome and Pompeii once my finances have recovered!
Feathers in My Cap
- Travelling through the beautiful French countryside
- Exploring historical sites and fortifications, my favourite being Mont Saint Michel
- Eating huge chocolate ice-creams in Italy
- Glorious weather, especially round the Mediterranean
- Swimming. Lots and lots of swimming
- Our car making it back to the United Kingdom in one piece (it was touch and go there for a while)
Black Eyes
- Getting lost while trying to navigate
- Searching for camping grounds late at night in unfamiliar towns
- Not finding camping grounds and sleeping in the car or pitching tents on the side of the road
- Strangers getting intimate in close proximity to where I happened to be
- No air conditioning in the car
