Mum, Dad, Chrissie, Gel and Mike all went to Cornwall together for a few days and stayed at a lovely farmhouse B&B.

While Gel hung out in London and visited Paris with the folks, Mike visited his parents in Dartmouth. During his stay they put Vic and Dianne's boat PeeJay on the water.

Nice, on the French coast, was the last stop on our Busabout tour. We stayed in a hotel in the middle of town, rather than at a campsite. The beach was a 15 minute walk away, and we spent the couple of days here drinking red wine and eating cheese. Yum. We spent one of our days in Monaco, with its luxury yatchs and ferraris.

Our third and final Italian stopover was Florence. It was probably the most beautiful of the 3 cities (in my opinion anyway). However, it was here that we had a massive thunder storm. At least it cooled us down a bit, especially since this particular campground didn't have airconditioning or any of the other comforts of the previous ones. Poor us.


Here was also where we spent an hour in the middle of the night in the middle of town waiting for a bus with the rest of the Busabout crew.
