Homeward Run

Having waved good bye to the 'Dispicables' we packed and left Umbria in the blazing sun and headed north towards the Alps and Switzerland. Crossing the boarder into Switzerland we were asked what exactly were we towing and what could possibly be inside the teardrop, bewildered looks and a couple of shakes of the head saw us through into new lands.

After staying the night at a motorway hotel we only had a short drive to Luzern where we'd decided to stay for a few nights. Once set up we headed into town for a few beers and a traditional Swiss fondue (and chips from around the world).

Not being known for our frugality's we splashed out mega Swiss francs to go on the 360 Tour. This started off with a boat trip around the lake.

Very steep train journey up the mountain.

11 Thousand feet high.

Bit of lunch and a drink (not included in price) but undoubtedly the best pumpkin soup in the world.

Then on the way back down a 15min trip in a very steep gondola.

Change into even steeper mini gondola for another 20 Min's.

Short walk and finally a tram back into Luzern.

And finished of a fantastic day with sun downers.

Never once felt out of breath, yoga for the enlightened.

On the road again the following day we stopped just out side Metz at a Formula One which was cheap and spooky. Calais was grey and grim as always but luckily we managed to sneak on an earlier crossing and got to my cousin Cathy's house in Dover earlier than expected where we were awaited by a lovely meat pie and chocolate brownies to die for. Thanks Cathy.
Saturday morning we set of again for the last car leg of the TeardropOutTour to Cheltenham and my folks, Nick and Tere, who had kindly agreed to put up with us for the following two weeks living in their house before we set off again, this time to India and Thailand.

Thanks for following but keep an eye out as we maybe posting more pictures and comments on the next leg which by rights should be called The DropOut Tour!
Cheers, Fran & Boo
