Tempting fate

"This will be our last easy border crossing" Linda said 5 miles from the Swiss border. 10 minutes later we had found ourselves in a huge queue of lorries that had been stationary for 3 hours. "It could take another 4 hours" one of the drivers informed us - and we thought Ukraine was hard to get into. Plan B, go via France. We set up the navigator and 5 minutes later we ae out of Germany and in France! Another 5 minutes and we've taken a wrong turning and ended back in Switzerlands Customs lorry park! So we head off on foot smile sweetly and laugh with the French and Swiss Douane and have got all our papers stamped, the road toll paid and are on our way again somehow missing out hours of queues. We then somehow manage to leave Switzerland go back into Germany then get back into Switzerland again. God knows how we are going to find Egypt let alone Cairo if we can't manage to get out of the EU!
3 hours later and we have arrived on the Med, and got ourselves stuck half way up a mountain pass and lost in an industrial estate before finding our overnight Sosta. So far all the road signs have been in the Latin alphabet, we've had good English maps and the aid of Sat Nav. From tommorow its all going to be in Arabic, our maps are 1 inch to 100 miles and no Sat Nav. Sounds a doddle!
