Off at the crack of dawn and away from the multifarious delights of Hythe. 820AM Chunnel and into France. Weather is top quality and we make great time. Lots of driving, and then some more.
Dom was thankful for every mile between him and ‘Mr Kashimr Mankini 2009’.
Team Maserati catch chunnel mid morning, after very early start, and commence the chase.
Lunch close to Laon which was odd. An English Salad consisted of ham, lettuce, pate and some other undefined greasy meaty stuff which we all ignored. Plus chips. (noooooooo!)
Team Maserati (James and Ralph) catch up with us at Metz for coffee at a dodgy Buffalo Grill.
Carry on to Colmar which is very pretty and serves cold beer in hotel bar. Aaaaahhhh! Very Big Day!
Dom V. Happy as his special friend from Hythe is 400 miles away.
Top eve in Colmar, it’s a very pretty town also known as ‘The Venice of France’. We didn’t find many rivers or canals, just a small stream. But hey, who’s counting?
Big decision this eve. Dom and Bob will be navigating tomorrow (Saturday). The plan is to do the Davos to Stevlio pass. This is the Top Gear ‘best road in the world – ever’. No pressure.
Nob of the Day is open. Two candidates; Bob has spent the last two years trying to open his car with a small light bulb and James who does not know whether his car has a turbo or not…….
Cheers
Peter
