As its me thats written the web pages my account is pretty much summed up but just to add a few things.

What have I learnt?

That I am impaitent and want everything done yesterday! will that change? NO!

Driving onto a train and driving off in another country and time zone is weird.

Three back seat drivers and a satnav are worse than one nagging wife!

Going round roundabouts anti clockwise is not natural.

The only non driver (Dan) had a better road awareness and sense of direction than the drivers!

The Loquax duck knows the way!

Rome is a long way!

Venice is OK if you are bored one weekend and have nothing better to do and like getting ripped off. Rome is OK if you like graffiti and pick pockets.

The further into Europe you go the worse the driving gets.

Italian women are gorgeous, not that I noticed any, Ok maybe I had a quick glance at one or two but I think I got away with it!


Things I would like to know?

Why are the roads in the UK congested and full of accidents when they drive like lunatics abroad and the traffic flows freely?

Why does the satnav only work when you know where you are going?

Why, when you are flying does the pilot say, "we are on the final approach", does this mean he's had a couple of goes but its not worked out, so he's having a final go, and after that your on your own!

Would I do it again?

YES!

Finally

I would like to say thanks to Dan, Adrian, Albert, "Dave", John the satnav and the Loquax duck for a great trip.

And once again a BIG THANK YOU to Loquax have I mentioned Loquax?.
