We made it to France!
We arrived safely at our new home, L'Abbaye de Pontlevoy yesterday! After an eight hour flight, two train rides and a bus ride.... but we made it!

Onto finnisterre by bus
... Unfortunately the children gave up 1km short and Jeanne and I were the only ones to see the sunset.

Not bad for a 200 k journey with 'Michelle Moutin' Cameron at the helm. As far as European driving, the highlights so far have been bedlam and chaos in Italy, with 2 opposing lanes turning into 3 when someone wants to overtake and everyone ...
