The ferry docked very late and we all got in a complete muddle getting off and onto the autostrade because the police had blocked our route. It poured with rain all day which was so disappointing as we all think of Italy as such a lovely sunny country. We stopped for a wine tasting at Andreas (one of the Italians who we love to follow) mother's vineyard which was a delicious diversion but it still rained, as it has done in Iran, Turkey and Greece. We stayed in a very nice hotel in Viareggio after slipping around on those bendy hills... A shock absorber is not great, but good enough. No time for that sort of work now. 20th today!

You know you are in Italy when you can have a wine tasting in the middle of a rally. That is what I call a special stage..

I hope the aches and pains (Aix les Bains) weren't too bad after all that hard work. Another two places gained well done and a triumphal entry to Paris tomorrow.
