Hello from Italy.
Well I’m still over here touring. So far I’ve been to England Wales Scotland France Belgium Luxembourg Nurburgring-3 weeks Germany Denmark Sweden Czech Republic Austria Switzerland Italy Now I’m in Aosta, Italy for a week. The original plan was to ship my RS America back to California at the end of October. That’s changed. Now I’m going to spend the winter in Italy and Spain and maybe end the tour around November next year. My insurance covers me in 29 countries and the custom laws in Europe allow you to visit each country for 4 months out of 12. I drove Davos Pass through the Swiss Alps yesterday. What a drive. San Bernardino Pass isn’t far from Aosta so that’s on the list. There are a lot of mountain roads around Aosta, sounds like a plan. I have no idea where I’m going next. This whole trip has been a exercise of winging it. I have rarely known what I’m going to do more than a few days in advance, I love it. A friend suggested Como, ok, it could happen. See ya, Don Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

Let’s see, fuel costs, paid about $56 today for 6 gallons of premium. I never know the exact cost until it show up on my credit card. The exchange rate changes a lot.
I try not to think about the cost of gas, ya gotta have it, nothing you can do about it, so just pay it and move on. The internet is what makes a tour like I’m doing possible. With it I can either go where I plan to or change my mind at a moments notice and head the other way. Like say for instance Munich during October fest. Hotel rooms quadruple or more. A 100 Euro room goes up to over 1200 Euros a night. I can find plenty of other places with 1200 Euros and have more fun. If you’d like to see all my pictures from this years tour and last years tour go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2010-2011_european_tour This year’s tour will all have 2011 as part of the title. |
