Bags are packed, driving gloves (5 pairs) are packed, watches (5) are packed - that means I'm ready to go!!
Meeting Paul and Enzo at 7am for a quick bacon sarnie and coffee, Chunnel then fast blast to Reims for a few photos. Then a back-road drive to Beaune to sample some Montrachet and Chablis in a lovely hotel and relaaaaax.
Day 2 Geneva via the Jura mountains and the Col de La Faucille into Gex, then more relaxing by the lake in 23deg sunshine
Then the alps are our playground, though Stelvio and St Gottard are already closed due to snow!! We'll stay at lower levels...
See y'all next week
Bugger! but to be honest Stelvio isn't a patch on Fluella for actual driving, did you manage to do the Andermat loop i suggested?
Gotthard Pass was open on Thursday.
Some of the Andermatt loop was closed Friday, but only AM. There was snow up there, but not fresh. More on this when I've got time to go through the pics.

I'm amazed Paul and Enzo havent been online and posted stuff up yet! I bought an SD card reader today so will download mine and post a few up tonight.
Suffice to say great food, great roads, interesting hotels (esp the red light district of Geneva!) and great company! Hopefull the pictures will do the trip justice
Some huge speeds reached and only one pull, Monsieur Plod didn't like the cut of Enzo's jib so he got landed, very unfairly, with Eu90 on the very last day!
............red light district?.............
Well Enzo got a kiss blown at him as we drove away... we still aren't sure whether by a man or woman. Certainly wearing women's clothes... but that's all we know! Let's just say Geneva has a bit that none of us knew existed...
Just a couple of pics for now, need to get myself sorted and will post a few more later...
Fantastic trip, would do it again without hesitatation
