Trying to plot, plan and pack for a holiday is what it is....this is no ordinary feat of packing though, none of the 'stuff a few things in a rucksack and hit an airport' stuff.....nope, this required a little more organisation, ok, months of organisation to be more precise because on Friday Fletch and I will set off for 16 days touring Europe on Eloisa (a big adventure motorbike for those of you not familiar with her).....and I can't wait, in fact it seems like I have been waiting for months but finally, at last, it's almost the allotted departure day! :o)
Packing for two adults, camping on a bike, is somewhat challenging from here and there but we have the right gear and having had some practice in a past life we finally got it all together last weekend, all I have to do now is be patient until Friday night.
Patience is not my forte!
So, the plan? Well there isn't one really other than to hit as many countries as we can without arriving back home more knackered than we left! We sail from Harwich late on Friday night (after a days work and a 120 mile ride) and arrive in Holland about 8 hours later, after that it's 400 or so miles hard riding to Germany and the Black Forest and then who knows....we could end up anywhere, though looking at Italy's current heatwave I'm somewhat dubious about going too far south in leathers!
We have one or two 'must do's' along the way, Stelvio Pass on the Italy/Switzerland border (see picture) is one of them, the second highest road in the Alps. Ok, a bit
I have no idea if I will manage another post before we leave or if I will make it to a cyber cafe somewhere along the way but if all else fails I'll be back in 16 days to bore you with way to many photos no doubt!
Only 50 hours to go....not that I'm counting! ;o)
