Good morning from our ski resort in Turin!

It seems we have found the least fun thing to do on a holiday - spending 16 hours in a car. 

We decided to push on a little further last night, which should make today a little shorter - around 11 hours of driving rather than 13. If we arrive in Sorrento at about 7pm instead of about 9pm today it will make all the difference - we can go out for dinner with the boys and have a bit of an unwinding evening and maybe see some of Sorrento before the fun and games start tomorrow. 

Here's a plot of our route from yesterday! 868 miles of driving...

600 to go today!

Last year I did little summary videos of each day. I'll be doing the same this time round too. You can find them on my youtube channel if you search for Emma Salter. Yesterday's is day -1 and to label it as a "highlights" video would be misleading...!

Here's the link: 

day -1

It's 7.30 am and we are on the road again. We spent the night in a basic b&b in a ski resort at 1000m above sea level. We are frustratingly close to the finish point of Ciclismo Italia, and the hills look immense. We've just driven past Mount Blanc, it's behind me so I can't take a photo, but here's some other little hills. 

The sat nav says we'll be at the apartment in Sorrento at 5.30, but that's if we drive continuously. So maybe 6.30 if traffic is kind...

Meanwhile back in England, Jake and Steve have arrived at the airport and are ready to go!
