The Italian Job officially finished last night and we now have to head home. We are breaking the journey in Dijon along with a number of other Jobbers.

The journey was a long slog on the motorways but with great views of the mountains.We paid the 52 euros to traverse through the Frejus Tunnel, which took us from Italy to France.

Having not got to bed early last night, despite promising ourselves we would have an early night, we felt tired and pulled into a rest area to have a 30-minute cat nap in the car. Refreshed, we continued the drive to the hotel on the outskirts of Dijon to meet up with our friends.

We walked across the road to the fish restaurant, one that was far from the sea, where we had excellent fish & chips. We opted for an early night because we have a journey of over 350 miles before we catch Eurostar for the 4pm channel crossing tomorrow.
