Our prayers for better driving standards we're answered in Switzerland. It was a good job as our route took us through the 17km Gotthard tunnel, not a good place to chance having an accident. Quite an amazing construction with mad temperatures - 15C at the entrance, 35.5C at about 7km in and 9.5C when we saw daylight again.
Then we stopped about one hour ago in deepest, darkest Switzerland at the services at Rothenburg. With sandwiches, chocolate, Red Bull(!), water and fuel we both felt much better. Phil resumed as pilot and I had a snooze.
While I was sleeping the car's SatNav tricked Phil into coming off the motorway for a "shortcut". This combined with having to wait 30 minutes before entering one of the Swiss tunnels has seen our Calais ETA move out to 19:35. We're trying to fix that right now.
