Ever since we left on Monday morning, the weather forecast was that we would encounter rain on our journey. However, for the first two days of travelling we managed to avoid any rain and were blessed with good weather for yesterday morning's trip to the mountains.
However, as we travelled down the valleys to Interlaken, it was clear that the weather had finally caught us up and the whole town was blanketed by cloud. The attached photo shows the view from my hotel room yesterday afternoon and as I write this on Thursday morning, the view is much the same.
We are now leaving to cross the Alps into Italy on what is going to be our most challenging day for the car. It's the longest distance we have to travel in a day and the mountain climbs will be the toughest challenge yet for the Mini. After today we pick up the mechanics and service/parts van in Imola when we can relax a bit more!
Distance from Troyes to Interlaken was 354 miles on Tuesday, which gives a total distance travelled so far of 761 miles. Next post should be from Imola (internet permitting).
