We’re back in Belgium tonight so Jones’ suspension is getting a workout for the similarly awful roads back home. We camped at Dinant where Jane found a very friendly vet. Good value too – only €55 to feed flynn a single tablet and stamp a document which probably doesn’t mean very much. They were very…

Another travel day north through france. This is going to be the norm until we’re back in blighty – we even have a plan for the whole three remaining days which is pretty unusual for us. We need to plan when to rebook the channel crossing and when and where to book flynn into a…

Today was mainly a travel day but we kicked off with a run around the walls of Lucca. As Jane said yesterday, Lucca has seen four sets of walls. Some of the line of the Late Medieval walls and two of the gates remain in the Renaissance cannon-proof walls we were on top of. That’s…

By the time we’d checked out and filled up we were slightly late for Herculaneum. We wanted to get there as the doors opened as we’d managed at Paestrum. We were 30 minutes late. We weren’t first in but we were there well before the school trips and busses from the cruise ships in Naples.…

We left Lago Sorino and headed North. We were thinking of visiting a port town on route just to kill time but, Apple then Google and Garmin all wanted us to drive down a tiny road that looked very much like it would get narrower. We deferred and set the controls for a Super Conad…
