So just because you can... does it mean you should?

Well I guess that would depend a whole lot on what the just because you can is... and whether you enjoy doing that sort of thing...

and with that opening I am sure there are plenty of... huh? what is she on? kinda looks going on...

Well when you happen to find yourself in France and only a couple of hundred kilometres from the Italian border and you would get to drive through none other than the Mont Blanc Tunnel... well how could you NOT go!!!!

I mean seriously who would turn down the chance of going through the Mont Blanc Tunnel just because you can? NOT us is the answer to that one... Euro 43.70 return along with at least a dozen other Auto route tolls to pay along the way... gotta get real here... the distance isn't far but seriously avoiding toll roads would be super insane!

Wow some really seriously amazing photo ops... that only had a chance to be captured while doing 130 clicks down the Auto route... but still seriously worth it... and the fun to be had during the 11.6 km stretch of the Tunnel...

And then there was the missed off ramp to Courmayer which meant we took a 50km (return) detour to Aosta... where we tracked down some gelati... oooh Limone Gelati... be still my heart... as good as I remembered it...

Long drive back partly in the dark... meant for a late night for the girls and a sleep in for everyone this am... Photos have just finished downloading will be back later with some edited shots!
