SWITZERLAND!
"No amount of photos can portray how lovely this place is. Unfortunately, the Alpine Pass is closed so we'll have to find an alternate route to Italy."
THE JAG HAS FALLEN!
"Arrived
at start point full of enthusiasm, the gathering of cars was fantastic sight only downside was it was blowing a gale
and throwing it down.
We set of knowing the MIB car had a problem with it's brakes. By 2nd roundabout the Men In Black and the nuns took wrong turning and ended up back at Calle. Her Royal Millerness waited around until they caught up with about an hour lost. By this time we were crawling along with brake problems. A further hour sat on the roadside waiting for recovery and another hour was spent at the garage. At about 14:30 the decision was taken to ditch the Men In Black car!
With still 100's of miles ahead we pressed on and arrived at the base camp at around 21:00 with a quick freshen up we went out for something to eat. Our guides then got us lost on way back to hotel so we left wandering streets until HRH's close protection (not driver) took charge and led all back safely.
Today nuns and queen setting out to lake como via swiss mountains along with a hire car in support." - Mo Williams
