Blinded up for the return leg.

Showing Caernavon on the destination blind as the ultimate destination for the return journey 59 years in the past, AFM 105B was photographed, posed outside our hotel in Alassio. The latter backed onto the sea front. So far as I'm aware, its not recorded where the party stayed all those years ago.

Oddly, the firm for whom I inderectly began work back in 1978, Berresfords of Cheddleton had also sent two coaches overland to Alassio, one in the 1950s and one in the 1960s. Nice place that it is, I wonder what about it stood out as a continental tour destination specifically when you might have thought that the south of France would have been similar but more accessible.
