road movie

back-blip

just a few days back I complained that, as I am always the driver (long story that goes back to some pretty hefty rows early on in marriage), I never get to take this kind of photo. Lo and behold, on Friday Mr. Spitzimixi announced that he would drive the next bit. Great, I thought, now I can take some of those pictures. The bit I had driven was a bit boring anyway....

Little did I know how much vacating the driving seat would cost.

We'd been going uphill towards the Splügen Pass for some time, trailing behind Mr. Slow who was obviously celebrating Cautious Day. So, at the first opportunity, we overtook....and did that a little bit too fast right next to the policeman with the laser....ho hum. We were taken off the road and given an on the spot fine of Much Money.

As if that wasn't enough....he picked up another one as we were driving through the village our campsite was in. But we don't know how much that one will be. Needless to say, all snidey comments about speeding fines that come in my name will be answered appropriately. I haven't been on the moral highground for this subject for so long I intend to milk it for all its worth. Mwahahahahaha.
