Thursday 1st

Thursday 1 August 2019, i must admit i was sorry to leave our hotel, it was so peaceful set in magnificent grounds and they also served donuts for breakfast those little ones full with custard that you can eat three without feeling sick, well most of the time. The problem with breakfast is if I eat in the morning then before lunch i am hungry but if i do without i frequently go to the evening with out food . Now i know many people say thats wrong but all i will say it works for me.

Following breakfast we loaded the car up once more somehow here seems to be much more and the level of suitcases have risen to another tier, much more and i will not be able to see out the window poor Elona struggles already. 

Johnathon had set off yesterday afternoon at a blistering pace, and had nearly reached the sea at Rimini no doubt cycling into the early hours. This morning using the marvels of modern technology we tracked him down to a park bench somewhere in the wilds of Riccione fast asleep so being the kind parents we are sat and watched him toss and turn on a narrow park bench amazed at his ability to balance on a foot wide plank, we had hoped to catch footage of him falling in a heap but gave up after 10 minutes.

Statistics so far we have covered 1463.2 Miles and have probably 300 more and since we have passed through the St Gottard tunnel so very hot, I hadn't appreciated the air conditioning in the car and it is somewhat off putting more than once we have decided to stop and thought about a jacket or jumper as it was "a little chilly" only to blasted with a heat wave as you open the door.
