Strangely enough, as I write this we're back in France.Only a short hop from the south of Luxembourg, but France nevertheless.It's weird, but the surrounds seem so familiar again and I've genuinely missed it.A major benefit of knowing the lay of the land is that we can zone straight in to the hotels that we know and love, and that will also give us free Wifi - something which Germany was phenomenally bad at, hence the slower updates to the site.

Hello - We're just snatching a few seconds of free wifi during breakfast this morning, so thought we'd add a video of our hotel view. We're currently in Chamonix, our last scheduled stop in France (alluded to in our last 'This is the end of our France blogging' video) before we go to Switzerland today.

The 'Camera' aspect came courtesy of the Cannes Film Festival which we skirted ar...

So - what have we been up to?Well, loads. The centre of Toulouse gave us the opportunity to do a bit of shopping, something that we've als...

So after the joys of the white wine regions that I (Jo ) loved, we decided it would be a good idea to continue through them and drive for a while.So, we aimed for Bordeaux but due to the length of the journey picked a stop off point between some bases we wanted to visit.However, thanks to my wonderful cousin Katy, for the suggested shop to buy a tent. It was surprisingly around the corner from our stop in Poitiers.So we are now the proud owners of a l...
