Won't be happening again. Hope not, anyway.
No car problems this time, but the trip wasn't without incident
One of those pesky continental bugs bit me on the side of my eye, and on top of my head. I drove back to blighty with one eye.
We stopped off at a pharmacy for some anti-histamine tabs and although this morning the swelling has gone down and I can now see I still look like I've taken a few straight lefts

accidents happen, although frustrating but as long as everybody is fine and no injuries, don't let it get to you (I know hard not to but)
shame it messed up your trip and cruise
hopefully all gets sorted soon and back on the road in the Z

That looks nasty but it’s good that it is now going down. Did it happen on the way to or there ?No car problems this time, but the trip wasn't without incident

Sorry to see this pic of you Jack but at least you went and didn't need the trusty RAC this time. Only need to hear insects spat on the screen to know just what could happen, your now living proof of what could have been more serious if it caught you in the middle of your eye. Hat off to you for driving with impaired sight all that way.Obviosly old school,well done.
Hope it didn't ruin the the trip for you.

Hope the swelling continues to subside. At least you could get home running on one cylinder this time
It was an insect bite that did the damage Roy. It must have got me when my guard was down as I didn't feel it bite me.Sorry to see this pic of you Jack but at least you went and didn't need the trusty RAC this time.

The swelling has gone down quite a bit since I took that photo this morning, thanks
I'll be back next year but Jill says she's not going again. That's bad news for Slenaken's beer salesBlimey Garry you've been in the wars. Looks like Euro trips are not for you. Better luck next year
