Travelling back from Lake Orta area in N Italy, we travelled to the Simplon Pass to reach our first overnight stop in Sion.

Imagine our delight to find that a landslide has closed the pass "for the foreseeable future"

"Why not take some Jerry Cans of Fuel in the trailer....problem solved.." Brilliant idea! - Obvious once someone says it. ÌýHowever, I don't think you can take filled cans on ferries or through the Channel Tunnel - so fill them in Belgium or Luxembourg

Why not fill up at Dover, Ìýdrive via belgium toÌýÌýluxemburg [cheap plentiful petrol].Ìý Then drive down through France .........Metz - Besancon -ÌýDijon -ÌýAnnecy ......about 450miles max and into Italy - Near Besancon you are close to the Swiss border - drop the trailer [with someone guarding it] and drive into Switzerland and fill up. Ìý This assumes you have a trailer, and not a 'box van' Ìý Good luck

..... a 12 foot by 8 foot shed would be big enough to partition off a shower/toilet/handbasin area [approx 8x3] and leave enough room for a bed/settee and a kitchen area - You probably would need some extra insulation, but its 'do-able'

If you need accommodation for 1 person - why not buy a largish garden shed which can still be of use after the house is complete?

"its also something to be aware of that if staying in italy one has to have their presence registered in the comune in which they have accommodation..either owned or rented..Ìý .................. .. again this is an oft ignored law" Have visited Italy at least once a year for 25 years - much more since I bought the houseÌý- never registered once - I am a naughty boy
