The gods smiled on us and we could stick to our plans. We loaded up the car and headed for Dover.
It felt liberating and exciting to be on the ferry heading for Europe.
The ferry was called Spirit of Britain which felt uncomfortably BREXIT like. The fact that the UK was leaving the EU would restrict future visits to the home we were off to find. Not the worst impact of BREXIT I’m sure, but a personal one.
Once we got to the mainland, we drove to Lucca in three days stopping off in Épernay (grand but rather soulless) and Annecy (beautiful by the lake).
Goodness me. The French motorway tolls were not cheap and the Mont Blanc tunnel from France to Italy was extortionate. We decided we’d try to go via Germany on the way back as their motorways are toll free.
