#The100DayProject
The plan was simple. Get up. Pack Up. Drive the 3 hours to Brindisi. Re-stock, and then board our ferry to Greece. Simple, right?
Plans however, especially while travelling full time, have a habit of hearing what you have said, and then promptly laughing in your general direction.
We had just left a rest stop, getting ourselves back on the Autostrade, and I noticed that the steering was a little, well strange. I immediately remember what our mechanic had told me as we drove away from his garage in January.
“If there’s an issue with the belt you will loose power steering”
I pulled over and sure enough, battery light came on. Oh pants !
To cut a long, and pretty stressful next few hours short, we manage to get a tow to the nearest VW garage where they promptly berated me (at least I think that is what they were saying) for not having genuine VW parts.
Molto costoso, buon uomo
And so, that is why we find ourselves currently still in Italy. Still 3 hours away from Brindisi, and still awaiting further news from the garage.
Then again, every cloud and all that – the village we are stranded in is rather nice indeed. I hear James Bond sometimes frequents these parts.
