Travelling down through France - Mont St Michel and La Rochelle

We left Caen Sunday morning to drive down the Atlantic coast towards Spain. We stopped for lunch at Mont St Michel before heading on past Rennes and Nantes to La Rochelle where we stopped for the night. Beautiful small town.

The weather is getting warmer as we head south. We are aiming for Biarritz tonight and then Bilbao for the Guggenheim. The vehicle is performing well and amazingly we don't seem to have forgotten anything!

We're leaving now!

And here are a few more

To stop Tara getting any more upset here are some more pictures of the car

Here is also a short video tour of the car, and I finally got round to adding one in the blog entry from a few days ago (ie two entries before this one). Before anyone asks we still haven't left. We are now up in Scotland scouting out places to get married.

We got a little lost on the way to Africa

We are currently in Cervinia, Italy. It is just below the Matterhorn opposite Zermatt in Switzerland. It is stunning. We got a little delayed registering our car so rather than sit around stewing in England decided to head out and have some fun. Wendy was skiing today and has nearly got over the psychological trauma that was inflicted on her as a child!

Our pimped out ride

We have been promising for a little while some pics of our ride. The crew at MTV (aka Paul and co at Footloose) went crazy and decked it out with speakers, TVs and in-car jacuzzi. Check out here for a video tour by Wendy.

We are back in business

All of you sitting behind your desks at work will be delighted to know you have an alternative way to get through the hours until you go home. No longer will you be restricted to watching monkeys misbehave on youtube or the world's markets fall apart on Bloomberg. Now you can read our blog again which will bring light and happiness to your lives.

We have been working hard to get ready for the trip. The vehicle is ready - I will post some pictures this evening. We just need to register it somewhere (we are trying Vanuatu - don't ask why) and then I need to get my passport back (I lost it, which doesn't bode well for the trip) and then we are ready to go.

Here is our snazzy logo which is going on the side of the car.
