As Paul wrote, trip down was dry and mainly sunny. It was a real treat seeing Karl and Ingeborn half-way through Germany and many thanks to them for preparing us coffee and snack lunch:). Our German hotel that first night was fab and we were treated royally by the owner and staff. No doubt that our three cars are wowing the crowds!
Set off Friday in bright sunshine which just got better and better all the way south. Switzerland was mesmerising and the St Gotthard pass exhilarating. Arrived in fierce sunshine at hotel (40 miles south of Florence) to welcome reception committee (mainly other guests, many from the US here for a wedding)! After a cordon blue dining and wining experience we retired happy but knackered.
A lazy day today, cleaning all the flies and limestone (Swiss mountain rocks) off the cars and chilling round the pool with beer, toasted ham & cheese and pizza. Baz and I dived into the pool, colder than the lake at St Gottard I wouldn't wonder. Grrr.
Catching up with the brotherhood on this posting and then off to the airport with Paul to collect the steering committee. Rest of the crew arrive between now and dusk. Will keep you posted (someone I'm sure will add pictures).
Lovin it so far
