We!ve arrived at Davos on a beautiful sunny and warm Autumn afternoon. We're stopping at the hotel Alpina, which is an older hotel but wonderfully maintained by its very helpful owner, who checked the status of the mountain passes before we set out this morning as they were expecting snow last night.
Davos is a great stop off point but at this time of year at lot of the restaurants are closed. So just like Bear Gryles we sourced our meal last night from the local resoures. Yep, you know it the Coop!
After a brief (very brief) visit we've entered Switzerland and making our way towards the mountains. On our way we've done a small detour to do a short tour of Lake Luzern and a bit of cross country to do the Sattel pass, before we get to Davos.
The Sattel pass itself isn't very interesting but the countryside jolly was well worth the effort and made a change from driving the motorways.
Lart night we had a real feast in Metz at Le Bouche a Oreille. This restaurant was recommended on Tripadvisor and it didn't disapoint. We had a huge cheese fomdue with a bread and salad between us, with a plate full of meats all washed down with a superb bottle of wine. And all for €50. This little restaurant is qurky and sureal with plenty to look at and photo, including bikes on the ceilng!
Yummy.. Time for a quick stop in Belgium and it bit of it's famous chocolate.
Nanur makes a good stop off point, it's easy to drivd into the centre, pkenty of parking, great chocolate and easy to get out of town again. However, a massive bonus is the cheap diesel at £0.87 a litre!
Fill me up please.
Here we go for the wakiest race of the year. The 2008 Italian Job.
OK, so the plan of action was to behave ourselves this year and do the Italian Job in 2009, but after a little bit of convincing (very littke convincing i might add!) we're doing it again this year.
We're off to Metz (in France) today and we've already met a couple of other Jobbers whilst waiting for the ferry. One team im a classic are off to Milan first!
There's nothing quite like doing the the Italian Job the long way round!
