Right the roof box is on fine now and I have already started the journey and made great progress during the night after dropping off Hajer at Heathrow the journey I am typing this from an Autogrill outside Marseille.
The drive down was very smooth and I am so happy with the new car which has great composure and fuel consumption, the roads down through France are so good and so quiet compared to those in the UK I guess this maybe down to not having 71 pound two hour rail fairs which make almost any scenario cheaper than taking public transport.

You do have to pay for the roads however and I found that the first leg costs about 19 Euros the second 36 Euros and the third well I am not off the road yet.

I slept for a few hours in a service station to get that authentic trucker feeling as I wanted to get down to Marseilles so I can sleep in a hotel down here possibly one of those F1 jobbies as they are nice and cheap about 15 Euro.















You have to check in at 10am on the day for the Thursday ferry to Tunis so I will pull up at the nearest one possible to mitigate the stress. I also note that the ferry has a limit of 2.2 m height and I think the car with box is 2.3 so this will be fun tomorrow though I was told by the ferry company that I can pay a 120 Euro fee and this will be fine but we will see.
