We left the med coast of France and headed for the Italian lakes, a two day journey. We made our way along a route that at times was tight and involved some hard, long and twisty climbs, (don’t mention the heavy rain). We passed some signs that seem to indicate height and width restrictions which were less than those of the rig, ah well plough on. We were halted on an hairpin bend by a queue of stationary traffic, just making out some signs and traffic lights in the distance. We started moving then reality hit us it was a tunnel with restrictions, s..t. We pulled to one side and waited whilst the cars carried on, the tunnel operated an alternate one way system. After all the cars had gone we were waved on by an official and procceeded along the centre line which gave us enough clearance. Phew.
Overnight in a the car park of a petrol station. Sunday morning and we were on our way again only to be stopped by the police at a checkpoint, documents checked we were on our way.
