The Frejus is now behind us and clear are roads in front. After the last post was made we made all the usual checks to Gina (wheel- check, doors – check, steering wheel – check, flames - check..) we rolled off and joined the approach for the tunnel only to find out that there was a hold up due to electrical problems in the tunnel. At the same time about 15 other IJ Minis turned up and we were collectively sat waiting for a good 20mins before all things were cleared. Before the other Minis realised that we were in the queue with them we could hear – "I bet it’s that *** flaming mini that's got stuck." Out of the tunnel now on onto Beaune should be 2hr if driving a normal car but for us it could be anyone’s guess. Bye for now as it’s my turn to pedal Gina. |

You're lucky Gina is not a P&O cruise ship -you would never have got through the tunnel - don't forget to stop at an Auchan on the way home for some celebratory booze! |
