Okay flew out Thursday Morning to Milan for work we are trapped, every hire car for 100km has been rented. No planes, ferries are not taking ANY foot passenger reservations until monday, more than a Million people displaced.
Also all the hotels are full and charging stupid money. First available ticket by plane is sunday night £880 on BA at 11:45PM.
I have even tried to buy a 2nd hand van to get me and 7 colleagues home (cheaper than staying here in the hotel until problem is over) but I am not registered in Italy so thats not possible.
I have now chartered a bus to drive me and 30 other people from Milan to Calais, but he wont take us on the ferry and none of the ferries are taking foot passengers.
I know this is a really long shot..... but any one own a boat? (remember Dunquerque) or a van that can seat 6 people who wants to have a return trip to calais, get cheap fags and booze. (I only need to get my 6 staff back, even if you cannot take me)
I have a duty of care to my team to get them home no matter what.
Any help suggestions welcome.
