Day 5
This ended up being our longest drive in one day 800 miles for Aix-en-Provence all the way to our villa,
We started at 9’oclock after a good breakfast at the hotel, no problems with the food or staff. We did get caught in the rush hour traffic but once on the motorway it was really plain sailing or should I say driving. No real issues just the cost of petrol on the French Motorways. We sailed through what was or seemed to be an unmanned border post between Spain and France but it could have been that they were sheltering from the cold!
Got onto the Spanish motorways and the petrol prices dropped to 1.16 a litre but the speed limit was 120kph down from 130kph. WE had stocked up with plenty of water, fruit and sweets and with Alan Bennett’s talking heads on the CD player we arrived home at 19:00. Ten hours at an average speed of 80 miles per hour and 32 miles to the gallon.
