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 views are fantastic, so we thought we'd share. Check out the glacier that's just visible in the video at the beginning just behind the hotel wall. We'll ad...

It was surprisingly around the corner from our stop in Poitiers.So we are now the proud owners of a l...

Well it's the end of week two, the point where most Holidays finish and you prepare to go back to reality. Not so in our case, and we've spent the day motoring across half of France to a decent mid-way point to Bordeaux (and yes, I've been sharing the driving!) to start our next phase.We decided to skip Dijon in the end due to it being a four hour round trip out of the way, and the last couple of places we've been to have mainly been in tribute to white wine, na...
