It's the week we set off back to Corfu and we haven't blogged the journey home from Corfu yet!!! What are we like.
So how was it? Well, the Venice ferry was an hour late to Corfu, an hour late into Venice. We got on an A road instead of the motorway in Italy, we then found the motorway and missed the Brenner road over the Alps, a short double back detour rectified this one. We crossed the Alps into Innsbruck without any problems. The second section was the concern as there was snow about and snow forecast. We got across the second Alps section easily and the snow started as we got through. We made it to our first overnight stop in a lovely hotel in Altenstadt in Germany in reasonable time and without incident.
Day two we were heading for France and Metz specifically. We had the obligatory detour, this time 80 miles as we missed the turn for Stuttgart - what a pair of Muppet's! We did however make good time to our overnight in a motel in Metz. Friday was the day we were heading for Dunkirk and the ferry to Dover - more boats - was the complaint from the passenger!! We made good time and managed to get on the earlier ferry.
Coming off the ferry in Dover we heard some dodgy sound coming from the rear wheels so we made tracks to Marians where we were staying for a couple of nights. The following day the car went to Kwikfit in Hastings for repairs and I do not have the time or patience to go through the saga here which took five days to resolve. Thankfully Marian was extremely accommodating, looked after us well and let us use her car to get to and from the plonkers in Hastings who were allegedly repairing our car.
We eventually set off for home and got back to Yorkshire and our lovely cottage in Middleton, it really is a super place to come back to.
