Partnered up for a Grand Tour

The 7th of October 2014 was a drab, watery day in Switzerland, with a single- but bright- redeeming feature

It marked the first day of our long awaited Grand Tour of Western Europe

Main participants: M and I, and a silver grey Partner by Peugeot. All of us fitted out out with enough camping gear

for spontaneous meals and nights on the road

First stop Bardolino, sul Lago di Garda, our friends-only 5 star haven for body and soul.
All is good, with Jane Goodall

and Enea

who hooked us up with one of my childhood heroines. Jambo! from Tanzania to Parco Natura Viva, Bussolengo, Italy

Then there’s basking in steaming thermal water

and friendship

at one of my favourite places in Italy, all at the same time. What’s not to love?!
No wonder we left leaving for so long- too long? (Watch us freeeezing- coming soon).
PS Did I mention the food……
