everyone!
Fortunately I have travel insurance that comes with my bank account. But somehow I thought I ought to get an E111 as well... 
Sun tan lotion - check!
Money - check!
Bug spray - check!
French and Italian dictionaries - check!
Camera, minidisc player, minidiscs, non-digital camera in case I feel like doing any proper old-school photography... teethbreesh, earplugs.
Ron, the maps! (Or Rene Descartes as he was known in France)

Thought so.

Do you still need those? I thought that if you had one of those flag thingies on your number plate then you were covered.
Not that I've got one you understand. No way am I having some 'Euro ring of stars flag' within a hundred feet of my car, or anything else that I own

Are we to assume that Six is not actually as addicted to Hootoo as the rest of us and won't be checking in from internet cafes along his route?

McKay The Disorganised Posted Jul 26, 2005
Well I did think he'd have checked in by now.

" I thought that if you had one of those flag thingies on your number plate then you were covered."
That's true, but not every numberplate has them on. I've just put a new numberplate on my car, and you don't get them as a matter of course.
blah blah blah, jabber chitter chatter, just giving Number Six something to read when he gets back. :D

Well, I'm back, and it was brilliant!
2550 miles, six days, three countries. Could maybe have done with two or even three weeks to do it, but you can't argue. I'll try and post something a bit more coherent once I've had a chance to collect my thoughts.
