‘You got a great car
Yeah what’s wrong with it today
I use to have one too
Maybe I’ll come and have a look...’
This is probably the first day that there was actually nothing wrong with the car for a while. One of the problems with being constantly on the go, its not always possible to stop and get little things fixed when they go wrong. But the little old man with the gammy knee has done wonders to the gear box. It has never been easier to change gears. Its could almost be on a Ferrari ;-)
When we woke up this morning we had 2 choices; 1st, to go to Capri and 2nd, drive to Florence. This was answered for us when we woke up to another rainy day. Capri should only be visited in the sun, and after 3 days solid of rain, we were both getting a bit worn down by it all, so we made the decision to head north.
As Laurie had been a bit sick, we had lost a couple of days, which meant we were not going to make the ferry we wanted to make in Bari. So we decided to head straight up Italy to Venice for the weekend. It meant that we would have 2 big driving days, but once we got past the insanity that is Naples, it was motorways all the way. In fact, we made such good time that we managed to get to Florence in time to get washing done and in the sun, which was an unexpected bonus.
Tomorrow is on to Venice for the weekend.
