Off to Italy!

We have left the fantastic Met hotel, Thessalonika, to drive to Igoumenitsa and catch a ferry to Ancona. It is pouring with rain, the wipers are on manual but we do have lights.

We are hurtling along at 80kmph with a stopping distance of , I estimate, a couple of miles!

The route is either direct on the motorway which will take 3 hours or over the mountains which in these conditions is Antibes guess. At 66km we need to make a decision.

Both of us got an early night and a fantastic nights sleep unlike a dedicated team who once again lead by Dom crawled in at about 3am! Thank the lord that I chickened out as we were getting into the taxi!

If we take the mountain route we visit the monasteries of Meteora a truly unbelievable sight. However in this rain it might all be a washout.
