Bjorn’s tummy feels a little unsettled after last night’s shell-fish, but Italy would be a little disappointing if it couldn’t wreck at least one stomach.

The fantastic views of the french Riviera are now long behind us and we find ourselves driving across the north of italy heading for venice. Its another long driving day spent almost entirely on motorways so we have been playing the a to z game. Anyone know an animal starting with the letter x?

We beat the mountain! Or at least, half of it.
The car has sounded better, but we didn’t lose any important pieces during the rally stages. Just before we headed up, however, there was a bit of a scare when we thought we had lost the entire vehicle in a car park in Monte Carlo. There’s […]
