Second European roadtrip this year

[StuBeeDoo]

Just over a month ago I had a conversation with Our Lass, and somehow RallyLegend was mentioned. OL said "Why don't you go? It's soon, isn't it?".

Well, I thought it was some-kind of womanly mind game and dismissed it. But sometime later she asked if I'd started researching the trip.

So, here I am in Rimini waiting for breakfast, soon to set-off for home again. RallyLegend was awesome, I spent far too much on merch.

Would I do RallyLegend again? Probably not. I'm the sort of person who once he's seen something, that's enough. Would I do another solo roadtrip? Absolutely!

This time I got to drive the Simplon Pass, which I missed last time because it was closed. If anyone is interested I will be posting the dashcam footage on YouTube.

Sounds like fun. Not sure Our Lass would approve without herself joining in though.

No way I’m leaving a teenager (my son) alone in the house for a few days either.

I need a plan……

We are hoping to drive down to Southern France again next year. Did it by air as a Fly/Drive this time. It didn’t;t go too well!

French ATC went on strike outbound
EasyJet lost my bags, but the rest of the family were OK. Bag finally delivered 4 days later.
Slight challenge with the hire car as the one I asked for suddenly wasn’t available
Our Lass broke her foot
Easy Jet aircraft had a tech fault coming back so we were three hours late!

It cost a lot!!
