    What to say?!? Wonderful!
    Perhaps not all foreigners know this, but this is precisely one of the most fascinating aspects of the Italian context (beyond art, culture, sea, gastronomy, etc.) ... or rather small and ancient villages built in stone isolated (and often uninhabited) in the luxuriant Italian hinterland !!! 💘

    Brilliantly done and a delight! Citroen owes you some homage. From the chainsaw massacre to Alexi and the fuse box, a sublime and endearing sojourn that flowed along smoothly with little help of a playwright's story line and tongue-in-cheek humor. It also provides a glimpse of the joys and freedom of small and capable vehicles that can take you places you wouldn't walk and can't drive. That's were the Ami is truly brilliant as well. Tanks again for sharing my friends.

    When you said you were going to do a vlog driving around the Cotte d'Azur I thought another video of Cannes, St Tropez etc. I am so glad you proved me wrong. So far your journeys have revived wonderful memories but now you are going to places I never dared go. Thank you both for the pleasurable videos which brighten up my Sundays.

    The "Summer Holiday" reference brings back memories. Here's how old I am.
    I saw the movie as a young lad of 9 by myself in a small-town movie theatre in rural Saskatchewan in 1963. I still remember Cliff singing "We're all going on a summer holiday" while driving "That big six wheeler, scarlet-painted, London Transport, diesel-engined, ninety-seven horse power omnibus - Hold very tight please, ting! ting!" (with apologies to Flanders and Swan).
    That was even before the Beatles arrived in North America for their first Ed Sullivan show appearance.
