Loads of fun, even with a fully laden Kia Rio I was repatriating, also thanks to the climate control on board. If you are returning during the weekend I strongly advise you to avoid the Toll roads and Motorways, they may be very crowded and slow, are expensive, very, very boring and the services and meals are lousy.<br>Tap in "avoid motor ways and/or toll roads" on your (up to date!!!!) GPS or smart phone and enjoy the really excellent secondary and smaller roads. It will take a bit longer but is so more pleasant with nice places to see, many excellent small restaurants, hotels on the way, plenty of arm muscle exercise and the petrol is way cheaper. Just be aware that petrol is mainly sold along the road near the larger towns and at the hyper markets e.g. Intermarché, very well indicated beforehand often near industrial estates. Do carry a 10 litre jerrycan with petrol, just in case.<br>Tyre pressure also depends on temperature, I had over 40ºC with tarmac melting.
