Leaving the coastal city behind, something got me weirdly excited: the road passed through a few cuttings made in hard, pink rock. Ermmm, what&#8217;s happening? Hang on, what&#8217;s this, a tunnel?! Topology!!! Finally Europe&#8217;s gone bumpy again after four country&#8217;s worth of soul-swallowing flat Earth.
