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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Flynn got to dip his trotters in Lake Trasimeno before breakfast. It’s far too shallow for a swim – at least as far out as I can throw a stick. After coffee we went up into the town of Castliogne del Lago. This castle originally sat on an island guarding the border between the Roman…
