Well done to both you and your friend 'Fanny' for getting you so far. Stunning views with gorgeous weather, lucky you. One and all are just about recovering from the usual excellent McLean entertainment - the whole of Shropshire, bar '2', being there! Whether perfect for the day - all good fun! Much enjoying your blog. Takes me back to 'gap year' days...! Makes exceedingly pleasant bed time reading, so keep going. Much love Tricia
The Simplon Pass Good Evening
Great achievement over the pass and it sounds as though you have only had to do 2 x 3 point turns which in the big scheme of things is excellent. Weather sounds fantastic - down to 10 degrees here yesterday with 80-90 mph winds which was not great. There is talk of another 'ash cloud' halting flights so your mode of transport is spot on. G x
Thank you Dear Everyone,
Thank you for your texts, emails and messages. They are great - keep them coming. Love Duncan and Clare x(from an internet cafe in Bellagio...but no ordinary internet cafe, we have wine, we have antipasta.... xx)
Go, Big Bess, Go! REALLY impressed this has actually happened! I can't imagine how much organisation went into this great adventure. The very best of luck! You will have many friends travelling with you in spirit! Have I missed the bit about how long this trip is going to be or is 'the summer' fairly open ended? Love, Wendy
Safe travels What a great idea in keeping yourselves a journal but also keeping us eager to hear family and friends up to date as well. Your description of the scenic drive feels like we are there with you. Keep safe and look forward to hearing more...... Love Ali xx
