On the way to the apartment

Started off from Viviennes at 7:30 and easy drive to Dover to catch ferry at 10:00. Beautiful sunny day for driving. Started from the ferry on the other side at 13:15. Had our list of service stations along the way and that was useful. Drove for most of the day and stopped at hotel in Colmar about 21:00.

Sunny and very cold (-4) the following morning, again great form driving - started at 08:15. Soon entered Switzerland and got stopped at the border rearding the bike on the back and the temporary number plate. Sorted it out and off we went again. Beautiful drive thru the mountains - all covered in snow. Lunch at services near Bellinzona (a world heritage site) in Switzerland, south of the Gottard pass. Into Italy and then got stopped again at the border for the same reason as before. At least this time the guard was much friendlier.

Arrived in Virgoletta at 16:25
