Fingers crossed, we are driving out to Italy from the UK later this month. Two of our proposed overnight stops have been cancelled due to the current situation.
We have resigned ourselves to the fact that we will have to isolate on return as we intend to drive back with an overnight stop in Colmar. Little bit concerned about the overnight stop in Switzerland on our outward journey as we intend to have a stop in Belgium the previous night. As I understand it, we would only have to quarantine if we stay longer than 24 hours in Belgium. It’s a minefield!
Was to be expected. Fortunately we are retired so we no real hardship for us despite the inconvenience of it all. Hopefully Italy will not impose any quarantine measures. Have booked the Swiss hotel you recommended. Many thanks.
Will probably avoid Luxembourg to be safe. We are proposing to travel back via France, but things seem to be changing on a daily basis. Looking at their daily increase in cases, would imagine quarantine will also be necessary if we stop there!
Hi Cecilia. Proposing to travel by car to our apartment in Le Marche on the 24th August and whilst there will be hopefully travelling to Urbino, my mother’s childhood home to visit some old haunts. A beautiful city.

Thank you for that. Will bear it in mind for our return at the end of September. Who knows what the restrictions will be at that time.

Our first night stop is in Belgium and was proposing to fill up tank in Luxembourg. Are you aware if this is possible or not?
Thank you Alan. Will give it a try.
