The Alps are beckoning

Managed to squeeze in about 460 miles in 24 hours and once again P&O surpass themselves by allowing us to board an early ferry. Sitting in Bar Le Duc planning dinner at La Pataterie. Superb roads, stopped at Chemin des Dames to view the ‘monument des chars d’assaut’. 50Km through fileds being combined – a hive of harvest activity.

Quick Escape

It was late as I saw the two girls out of the corner of my eye – one helmet less but catching a lift from her friend, ahead was a polizia municipale officer – they rode past me and as the pillion dismounted waving ‘ciao’ she slipped past the municipale remounted and giggled their way up the Via Fuorimura – Buona serataScooter Escape

Sorrento

Narrow alley ways stretching as far as distant views, focus is gained
Vibrant colours in machine cooled shop doorways entice the weary
The town rarely sleeps, is reborn at twilight and is ageless
Plump green olives nestling in small thrown pots
Mountains hang high – towered by Vesuvio
Sweet smells, loud voices and you
