Derek introduced Paul & Wayne to holidays with his cycling club "Swindon Wheelers". We journeyed to the French Alps in winter and the small Italian town of Rodi Garganico in Summer.
This is all took place 'on the back of a lorry' which was our home for the [almost] non-stop journey to Italy, via stop-offs at Saint Tropez [going] & Aix le Bains [returning]. By Ferry to France, round the Paris 'Peripherique' and onto the 'Autoroute de soleil'.
We also stopped off at Florence for a visit to this historic city and a walk across the Ponte Vecchio. [See photo album]
