Travel with medicine - how do you keep it cool?

A hotel in France had no fridge in the room, but the receptionist who also ran the bar offered to put my pills in the bar fridge. I declined, because I ran the risk of forgetting or finding the fridge was locked and the person with the key was on an errand, just when we were in a hurry to leave next morning. However, the car was so cold overnight, that we were able to leave the pills in the car which was safely locked away in an underground garage.

Insulated Lunch Box 

The latest comment I had on my appeal for suggestions on Face book was that you use an  insulated lunch box. This is what I do. I use a padded bag which is foldable so it is lightweight and can be compacted.

Cool bag or see if it can be taken out of fridge for a period of time. 

If travelling by car all day, this works.
