Cheers, Robin. Lol - I'm afraid that the latter would be both Del and my idea of hell!:D
In any case, does she *always* have to get her way?;)

No worries (and that sounds good), but she might like the type of driving holiday you're proposing, and seeing all sorts of wonderful and different places:)
Word of warning though, *only* do it if you're able to spend 7-8 hours a day in car driving on foreign roads, which can be both challenging and tiring. We've been doing it for years, so are conditioned to it. Also, in remote parts of France (and Italy), such as we visited, almost no-one speaks English, therefore having some knowledge of the local lingo helps enormously!
Marco.
How's your Italian?;)
TBH though, even if we couldn't speak the language, we enjoy the challenge, testing ourselves and just experiencing different things. Neither of us like the 'safe' option, as it's boring and you don't learn anything new. Plus, with Smartphones now, Google Translate is your friend!:D

Ok, some pics from Grotte La Madeleine, which we visited... Details here: https://www.grottemadeleine.com/

The pics don't really do it justice.... VERY impressive (and also eerie and hugely atmospheric) when you're there in person!:cool:

If any of you are into caves, and observing some incredible stalagmites and stalactites, I'd thoroughly recommend both of the above! :cool:
Marco.
Very nice mix of pics there Marco.
Wondered where da heck you'd got to :)
I'm away in Miami at the mo with the Mrs and our daughters.
Very different to where you've been but its just good to get away from the bind, feel the sun and chill :thumbsup:
Cheers, matey. Enjoy Miami - sounds cool... Although it's probably very hot!:D
Marco.
Not half Marco, thankfully we're in South Beach by the sea so the sea breeze is most welcome. That and the occasional shower to cool things down as its their rainy / hurricane season :eek: :)
