The Right Time for it
It is time to be getting ready for that tour. The best months for travelling to the South of Europe are April, May and June, before the crowd of strangers descends upon the roads and wayside inns. The weather is usually ideal for the purpose, neither too hot nor too cold, the countryside everywhere is at its most brilliant, and if snow still blocks the higher passes of the mountains until the beginning of June, the inconvenient stuff does beyond question enliven the pic- tures you see at every mile through the wind-screen. Even if the big rush has begun you need really not trouble yourself about it, at least so far as the actual travelling on the high- ways is concerned. The various popular resorts, such as the Riviera, Italian Lakes, one or two places in Switzerland and so on, are quite likely to be busy, but that only means that you will see large numbers of your fellow-travellers when you halt in a town.
