Countries passed through so far: France, Belgium, Luxembourg.
Made perfect time on the journey from Pembroke in Wales to the port of Dover, despite lashing rain the entire way! Stayed in a cheap and nasty B&B in Calais, but let’s face it, all we wanted was a bed and a toilet, and there was even an Irish pub next door for a Bailey’s nightcap. Anxiety that all our worldly goods might be nicked from the van during the night caused us to get up and be on our way again at 0730.
Kms to destination (Brindisi, Italy): 2100
Kms to complete each day: 525
165 kms until today’s target is reached.
Looking forward to reaching a campsite, settling down and cracking open the bottle of bubbly we’ve been saving.
It all feels a bit surreal … the last 5 or 6 weeks have been a blur. First of all, David went on his reconnaissance trip to Zakynthos for almost 3 weeks, and if I wasn’t working at the museum, I was packing like a mad thing. Then as if I didn’t have enough to think about, I decided to move universities and was gathering up all the paperwork for that. Bless him, David was left alone to finish all the packing up and organising while I galavanted off to Crete for a conference on the ancient novel. It wasn’t all fun and games in the sunshine though, as I picked up a stomach bug which clung to me for 8 days. I was home long enough to put laundry on then go to bed. When I got up next day it was time for the adventure to start!
