The Countdown Begins!

In less than one week we will be departing the UK for our three week 'Riviera Tour' taking in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and sneaking through a few more countries en route.  Unlike 2014 which was a 'dash through the passes', this year we'll be taking time to exlore the local area and do a bit of sightseeing.

The first week will see us retrace our 2014 Alpine Tour, albeit in reverse and with a few new passes and interesting roads thrown in for good measure.

We'll be spending week two in a villa outside St Tropez where we will be joined by our respective children to officially mark Angela's fiftieth birthday (even though it was in March!).

The third and final week we continue our journey, heading for home with a very leisurely meander through France.

Follow our progress on the blog - fingers crossed for a trouble free run!
