7 Weeker

One of my first trips was driving a newer bus Gordon.

Normally either the driver or courier has had some experience, but on this trip it was not to be. It was more or less my first trip around Europe and my Courier was Max off my training trip from a few weeks earlier.
We got lost everywhere and Max was just reading all the blurb for each place out of a book he managed to buy.

We were lucky as one of the girls on the bus spoke fluent Italian so we were fine getting her to ask for directions in Italy which happened a lot.

When got to Brindisi they were having a 3 day strike on the ferry so we got delayed there heading for Corfu.

I did learn to read maps fairly quickly after that trip plus one of the guys that was leaving the company gave me a stack of maps and a couple of guide books so I was grateful for that help.
