Yes, its me again, twice in 48 hours but just wanted you to know that I have landed safely in Italy and am at a campsite  about 10mins walk from the centre of Pisa. Charging a huge amount of money compared with France but then again - location, location, location!

Thought I'd give you a few statistics from the last couple of weeks:

Driven 1928km, highest point was 560m.

Average price of campsite - 15e per night

Average price of baguette - 1.10e

Average price of cup coffee - 3.00e, same as beer, wine much cheaper at 3e per bottle- no contest!

Diesel 1.35e in supermarkets, 1.45e in garages

Number of GB plates seen in Corsica- 1

%of people met in France and Corsica who spoke English - 20%

% of people who laughed at my pathetic attempts to speak French (not including Irene,) 50%- the others just sighed!

Number of conversations I have had in English since I arrived on this campsite  - 6!

As for the weather - torrential rain all last night, forecast cloudy and overcast – I’m sharing your pain!

Bye for now
