The final leg

No time for sight seeing, we are up bright and early for the last leg home. I anticipate at least 8 hours and so it proved to be. We also planned it so that we would be driving through the tunnels between La Spezia and Ventimiglia around lunch time on Sunday. Sunday, because any sane sensible person will have lunch at home, so the roads will be quieter and also there are no trucks on the motorway on Sunday. It turns out to be a very smart move.

What an enjoyable week. We reunited sisters who had not seen each other for 3 years. We made contact with Italian relatives and we stuffed ourselves stupid with great food. The journey there and back (a 2750 kms round trip) was inspiring and very pleasurable, so all in all it was a good week away. I can't wait to do it again but will have to get into training first!.
