Well we are on the way home now.

Alps were fantastic the Stelvio challenging in the rain. The italians top people but expect a killer hangover if you go drinking with them.

No surprise that Monte Carlo is expensive and contains very few petrol stations.

Antibes is hot and very chic.

Avignon is even hotter but has a great Roman walls and a bridge to contrast against the spectacular Millau. Which is even more impressive from below.

We are now touring around Clermont Ferrand and the volcanoes.

We have done some amazing roads mostly off the motorway. Imagine a cross between the Nurburg Ring and Gurston Down for 100 miles at a time but with wow scenery.

We will post some pics when we get home next week.
