Tell you one thing driving out into Nevada though, I wouldn't want to break down, you are absolutely miles from anywhere in harsh extremes, with only air conditiong keeping you alive.
There are two levels of Casino there, the high class professional ones where unless you have got several thousand pounds to burn dont go anywhere near The majority are versions of slot machines where you see hundred year old zombies with no expression on their faces just putting endless supplies of coins into machines
Best experience I had gambling was on a cruise ship when we were in Cyprus and went on a three day trip to see the Pyramids I want down to the Casino to play Blackjack with five pounds and two hours later with a tiny bit of help from a gorgeous croupier I went back up with fifteen pounds On the return trip I went down with the fifteen pounds, same croupier, two hours later I went back up with twenty pounds If only I had been playing with thousands of pounds
I’m not going anywhere near Las Vegas mate, drove through it once and it looked like Blackpool on steroids. I’m starting my trip in SF; heading to Yosemite, then I’m planning on driving up to Lake Tahoe and working out a route across northern Nevada
Early start again drove over to the Italian side today, think the views are even better there, the queues at the tunnel are fecking annoying, everything half the price of France. Back now having a few beers.
Just arrived in Zaragoza en route back home. It's 11.30 pm and 35 degrees for **** sake. Absolutely baking. No power in the van, off battery for the night, so no fans running. This will be fun. Just cracked my second can of still cold San Miguel, gonna sit it our for an hour so my body heat doesn't add to the equation!
Went to Lanzarote in November last year and the daily temps were in the 30’s. I really enjoyed it and am thinking booking the same this year.
Drive to Dover Wednesday evening around 10pm…3am Thursday morning ferry at Dover to France then Belgium, Switzerland and finally Italy Friday afternoon with an overnight stay in Como Thursday night. Away for 2 and a bit weeks
Will be quite something looking forward to driving through the Swiss pass epic scenery coming up We going Lecce, Florence, Tuscany and Verona if I’m not mistaken
Yes also going through the Swiss pass as the Mount Blanc tunnel sounds a terrible journey. Keep us up to date with this trip when you have the chance, I'm so looking forward to it. Lecce looks amazing we're staying there for 4 days.
We're sick of the **** that's involved to fly anywhere so started planning this for our 25th anniversary.
