And they're off!

It's 8.30 and I'm about to check out of our little apartment in Sorrento. I've just gone down with the boys to wave them off as they kick off the challenge with great air and style. Thankfully they decided to leave the air horn for another time as 7.30 was deemed too early for such a thing

Yesterday was equally as boring for me and james. We arrived in Sorrento last night at around 7pm, which meant after we'd unpacked we would have time to actually go for dinner and talk about how silly we all are for agreeing to do this for a third time! Rather than go exploring, we went to the restaurant downstairs, where jake and steve had already been for lunch. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it! So we really haven't seen much of Sorrento at all. This is the view from our apartment

Right. Time for me to head off. I'm a little nervous to be honest. The streets are very windy and narrow and there are lots of moped which seem to just go anywhere. The motorway driving etiquette is very different here than the England. In England you generally drive in the slowest lane possible and move over to overtake and then go back in. Here, you stay in the fastest lane possible, and when someone gets up your arse and wants to get past, you move over a lane then back out in to the fast lane once they have gone past. Great!

I'm also going to take longer routes and avoid the tolls. In not fun in a right hand drive!!
