After farewells to family and friends, we left the UK for an 8 AM ferry on Monday morning. We drove 1,200 over 2 days, passing through France, Belgium,
Luxembourg, Switzerland and Italy. We slept (briefly!) in Milan on Monday night and arrived in central Rome on Tuesday evening. The journey was long and hot; we gave up on the car fan because it was blasting out hot air on us! The windows were open and my arm was covered up with a towel to prevent sunburn... We stayed in central Rome, ate pasta and wandered to the Coliseum which was lit up spectcularly. Very excited to get started! If i begin to think about running the vast distance we have just driven (or glance at the map), it's a tad overwhelming - an intimidating prospect! We'll take it one day at a time and see how we go...
