Tuesday 1st April
Meribel, France - Santa Margherita, Italy
Started up Landy in morning to more billows of smoke which followed us down to the race piste where we said bye to Nick’s family. Smoke cleared as we headed down hill and through the Alps to the Italian border. Headed through Italian border at Tunnel du Frejus with no problems.
Alps disappeared in rear view mirrors and as temperatures rose to 28ºc the shorts made an appearance. Passed Turin and down to Genoa where we caught sight of the Mediterranean Sea. Also hit rush hour traffic for some wacky races through tunnels and over bridges. Got off motorway and drove down coast road to Portofino to check out the glamour and try and find an open camp site. Ended up in the 1* Hotel Annabella which was fine and headed out for a cheap pizza and beer.
