Rosalie,we drive down to the Languedoc at least once a year and this year it was twice.It is 170 miles to Dover and 700 miles in France.We take the ferry to Calais and he reads the papers and I fetch him a coffee etc!!!We usually stop in Beaujolais or Burgundy for the night and make it part of the holiday at a Logis.
My OH drives a great deal and it doesn't bother him.He will take breaks thankfully though he is very keen to keep to schedule!!No lie in in the mornings!!
I try to sleep but he likes me to keep him awake.We have to get all the car numbers for the regions!!!!!!! never managed the lot yet(90 odd) and there is an area of forest by the motorway where we spot hunting birds that sit on the fence posts!! Some good CDs from the 60s or Rod Stewart....
Are you getting the picture??LOL I love him really!!!
This probably doesn't help you but I thought you might find it mildly interesting!! merc.x.
