Back from Italy

Finalised the packing of the car, not as muc this time and left about 08:00. Foggy start but turned into a lovely day later and as always spectacular thru the swiss alps. Lunch at Gottard service station, after the pass. Not long after entering France decided to take a 'short cut' around Colmar/Strasbourg. Absolutely beautiful villages and scenary in Alsace after we left the motoway - west of Colmar. Definitely worth revisiting. The detour, through Nancy & Metz was not really a short cut.

Got into Luxembourg and had real problems finding a hotel near Arlon. Eventually we backtracked and stayed in an IBIS near the motorway.

Very, very foggy start the next day and we eventually got to the ferry on time for 14:00 sailing. Back home about 19:00
