Serendipity? I'll Give You Serendipity!

Well we finished yesterday on a high note having enjoyed a wonderful day at Lake Garda and today we had planned to visit Verona.  The best laid plans often go astray and so ours did as the heavens opened yet once more at 2am this morning resulting in further loss of sleep.  By 8am this morning, the site was deluged and we opened our curtains to see a very wet and bedraggled bunch of campers competing in a synchronised, "who can get your tent down the quickest" competition.  It wasn't a pretty sight but again caused us to focus on our next move.

Do we head South away from the rain of Lake Garda or head West again to where we know the weather is truly settled?  West being France.

Who would have thought that we left the UK heading for Croatia and within a week we have touched France, Germany, Austria and Italy before finding ourselves back in France and close to the Mediterranean.  We could have saved ourselves about £200 in petrol and £100 in tolls but do you know what, we are having a great adventure, are still smiling and above all else we are still talking to each other! Amazing.

We have pitched camp to night in a site close to Grasse and looking at the forecast for the area, it does look as if sun is the order of the day and right through the weekend.  Mind you, our arrival will probably be causing the weather gods to gather round a table as I write and plan the next tempest.

I may have nothing to write about tomorrow and I certainly have no pictures to accompany tonight's effort.  If I do write anything, it will be reflections on the Freelander 2 which has been nothing short of outstanding during our first week.
