Arrived at the F1 hotel in Reims
260 miles
44mpg
Cruised at 85mph didn't have to touch a pedal
Audi Sat Nav managed to fcuk up at first attempt
Didn't tell me to come off, so I continued onto a new toll road which isn't on my 2011 built car!
How did the french manage to build a road after Audi built my car!
Bloody french!
Anyhow, lots of UK plates in the car park, for £36 a night it must be the pikeyness in us Brits
Up early tomorrow to drive to Cannes via Dijon for Lunch

Sounds like a fantastic trip - I've done London to Cannes more times than I can remember, but that's just day one for you!
