Today it was All Saints Day, a public holiday all over Europe . We said goodbye to our German campervan friends and set off for the Italian Alps , by toll motorways around Genova again, skirting Torino and stopping for lunch in Susa , a long village strip development Alpine style, (twinned with Barnstaple ....there you go ) We drove through some stunning Autumnal. Alpine scenery , in the rain and cloud, found a car park in Briancon ( where Andy went canoeing in his early 30's ) we drove on in search of somewhere to stay overnight which was slightly less exposed, found everything else closed, and as darkness fell , we beat a welcome retreat to Briancon car park where we spent a quiet night .Only 10 mins walk from an E Leclerc supermarket where Andy purchased a soothing bottle of red.
