We’re heading home. In a change to our usual procedure, which is to stay just outside Calais and walk into town for dinner, we changed our tunnel crossing for the first “free” one tonight, about 9pm, and Rog found us a great restaurant for lunch. It was Au Koning Van Peene, in Zuytpeene – contrary…

In the morning we took Flynn for a walk by the river, which he turned int a swim which he was very reluctant to leave. Eventually he was forced to walk through the lovely streets of the town… … and come and do some clock viewing, except, of course, no one could really do any…

It was just a travel day today, so don’t expect an exciting blog. The weather was a little better when we woke so we got a good view of the Alps over our paddy fields. Then we got some even better ones as we approached the Mont Blanc tunnel. On the other side of…

Our hilltop wild camp was rocked by high winds and rain all night. I don’t sleep well when that happens, even with the anti-Rog-snoring devices installed in my ears – I think I subconsciously worry that the wind will blow Jones off the hill! It did get better later though, and Rog got the drone…

We debated staying where we were, but there was no shade at Fattoria Camper (a very good site) until the late afternoon, and the weather forecast was sunny and highs of 31C. “I know,” I said, with my brilliant planning head on (hah!). “Let’s go up into the mountains – I’ve found a town called…

Our morning view with coffee was stunning, but we didn’t get to enjoy it for long as I was very keen to be getting into Paestum when it opened at 8:30. Paestum, or Poseidonia as it was then known, was founded in around 600 BCE by settlers from Sybaris, a Greek colony in southern Italy.…
