The short drive to the port of Santurtzi, and the final sailing of the Pride of Bilbao, a cruise ferry that has been in service on the route since 1993. Due to consistent losses it's been cancelled. (apparently, although staff onboard seemed to disagree and quite a few suggested it was a very questionable/dodgy decision by P+O - putting several hundred staff out of jobs...payoff to Brittany Ferries maybe? They've just taken up the route afterall....ok I am rambling...)<br />

<br />
Kind of a sad feeling after such an incredible trip. It's been expensive. I know I spent about £800 on the trip (not including the car!!!), but every penny was bloody worth it. It's been one of those experiences that I'll never forget, and one of the best times of my life. It was great to spend the rally with my Dad, chatting about things past and present, (the odd argument too), drinking and eating in foreign places never visited, experiencing cultures, meeting new people, and then the trip back with my best mates. Wouldn't change a thing.<br />
<br />
Above all, using this opportunity to raise over £5,000 (including prize money) for the MND Association. What an experience.<br />

<br>
<br>About 200km ago, while getting fuel, the car didn't start. The solenoid to the starter motor has packed up so we are having to bump start the car every time we need to start it.
<br>
<br>That should be interesting tomorrow when we board the ferry and tuesday when we try and disembark in portsmouth......
<br>
<br>More later....

<br />
1: The challenges are over<br />
2: the distances especially days 6+7 are greater and there is less time.....<br />
<br />
I dropped Dad off at Naples airport (real dump), but not before the car caught alight due to some spilt oil in boiling naples traffic (a worrying but amusing episode), and picked up Bob Moore who flew in (late) on the easyjet plane Dad was taking out.<br />
<br />
We then had 500KM to Ancona and then another 250KM to our hotel just outside of Modena (in an industrial estate)<br />

</tbody></table>Nimes is a stunningly beautiful town nestled between Montpellier and Marseille in the south of France. It is home to the second oldest Colosseum in the world, which was featured in the film Ronin starring Robert De Niro. Most people recognise Nimes for its buildings but don't know where it is.<br />

Really looking forward to sightseeing again in Barcelona but not so much the drive in the city........ Here is a short video of the last two days:<br />

</a></div>So - Staples2Naples 2010 had come to an end. All that remained was to find out the scores of the various challenges along the way and find the winner. 1st place would win £1,000, 2nd place £350 and 3rd place £125! We met at Don Salvatore's Pizzeria in the centre of town for dinner which was great and started on the beers.<br />

We were to drive the short 200ish mile drive from Viterbo to Naples (our final destination and the location of our lovely 5*hotel)<br />
<br />
We woke up at 9:55. Dad said "shit, we've blown it". He said that because we were supposed to meet in the square at 9:00. We called and begged and the organisers gave us the challenge. Ordinarily, if you're not there at the meeting time, you forfeit the challenge. The challenge today was to find the oldest car with 4 wheels we could possibly imagine, and photograph it, and it COULDNT BE IN A MUSEUM. So lets see what we found moments later at a supermarket.....<br />

<br>
<br>Todays one is more simplistic than yesterdays - all we have to do is take a picture of the oldest car we can find. It can't be in a museum and can't be a tractor.
<br>
<br>We're going to take the autostrada down past rome, then come off after and take the b roads along the amalfi coast in hope of spotting an old car and because it'll be beautiful!

Dress up as a nun and get pictures of ourselves with groups of people that we don't know.
<br>
<br>1 point for groups of 5 people or less
<br>2 points 6-10
<br>3 points 11+
<br>
<br>Outfits sorted, now its just a case of persuading residents of a devout catholic country to pose with two blokes dressed as nuns.
<br>
<br>Oh and we've got a 400mile drive too.
<br>
<br>Wish us luck!!!

<br>
<br>A: "what is your wifi password?"
<br>Hotel manager: "no, we don't have internet."
<br>A: "but you are on facebook on your laptop, I can see?"
<br>Hotel manager: "no, no internet."
<br>
<br>So - another temporary blog post until tomorrow night. We are in viterbo in a best western tomorrow night and they should definitely have wifi so we'll be uploading all night cos we have two days queued for reports already!
<br>
<br>We've got three 5 minute videos to go up plus todays (and tomorrows!).
<br>
<br>Car performed great today, went up and down EIGHT mountain passes, no more, no less. Views beautiful, really great day. No overheating, no problems and we even stopped to cook a bacon sarnie. Civilised or what?
<br>
<br>Dress up as a nun day tomorrow, water pistol fight, etc and then to Viterbo...

<br>We have coffee, bacon sandwiches (brought from the UK) and we just bought some steak. Cooking with style. We even have a picnic rug.

<br>About 80km from chur, and then about the same again to aprica.

The day started in the Mecure Calais where we had breakfast and stole half a cheese and about 5 baguettes for our lunch as we are cheapskates.<br />
<br />
We met for the start line at 8:30AM sharp at an abandoned railway yard on the docks in Calais. There are about 22, 23 ish teams this year on Staples2Naples, and we got to know everyone. Clearly, there are plenty of eccentric fellows on the rally, and some of the cars were quite entertaining. Saying that, "The Leg" was getting all the attention, something we were very happy about.<br />

We got to Dover in good time and were only late because of the ferry!<br />
<br />
In traffic we are running with the heaters on full and the wired up cooling fan running too, which seems to keep it below max.<br />
<br />
We are now in the stunning market town of Calais, and about to check in, see a couple of clips we took earlier below:<br />
