Just got back this afternoon after a 2600 mile journey.
We drove down quickly through France, over the Alps, through the Frejus Tunnel (20 minutes), and on to Lake Garda. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy and wet over the Alps so there weren't good views. The rain continued into the next day, then cleared up, and we had a week of very hot sunshine, fabulous at the Lake, we were camping at the side. Then we drove down to the Med, and round to our favourite campsite near Antibes, where we had another 5 blisteringly hot days. Started travelling north, had another damp evening/night, but still very warm until the last couple of days, when it was dry and mild.
It's freezing cold here now, I've put the heating on!

Hi Fran! It sounds as if you had a lovely relaxing holiday, with lots of sunshine, beautiful scenes and revisits to familiar places. 2600 Miles is quite a distance but I'm sure worth every mile.

Sounds a fabulous trip Fran, no wonder you are feeling the cold. I've had my vest on since getting back and I only went to the south coast.

What a great trip Fran. I went on a coach trip to Lake Garda so probably went on a similar route, and I agree that Lake Garda is fabulous.
