I\u2019ve been eager to go and visit my family in Italy and we\u2019re all desperate to go on holiday. When travel restrictions were eased we started planning. My husband and I didn’t fancy boarding a plane with the kids in the current circumstances. Instead we’ve opted for a driving holiday and booked a crossing on Eurotunnel.<\/p>\n

When I was a kid, we drove to Italy many times so I\u2019m feeling nostalgic.<\/p>\n

Over a bottle, maybe two, of wine Matt and I plotted our route on the map. As opposed to just burning it down to Italy in the fastest time possible, the drive is going to be a feature of the holiday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve booked several self-contained properties through HomeAway, Airbnb and a private rental for on the way there and back in areas we\u2019re particularly interested in visiting. We’re staying for two or three days at each.<\/p>\n

Our trip will take us down the eastern side of France, into Switzerland, onto the Italian alps and then onto our final destination: Bordighera in Liguria. Then we’ll travel back up the western side of France.<\/p>\n
