This doesn’t bode well for the summer hols
I was looking forward to exploring the the south of France this summer with a few friends. This might be tempered somewhat by a shortage in hire cars and rising car hire prices. I just read an article (http://bit.ly/bX5Dyz) about how there is a shortage of cars, especially around the Med and the demand is driving prices up (by up to 250%).
We were planning on taking a hire car at Nice and taking a few weeks to drive West to Toulouse, before flying back from Carcassonne. I suppose we still can, but we might have to cut costs on hotels if the car is pricey.
Sigh. Back to work.
