Title: Finally, Destination decided
Post by: Mogster on February 15, 2012, 10:14:39 AM
FFS! how much debate and checking the interweb fer hotels!!!

Bled in Slovina, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bled check out the pics!! we have booked a mid priced hotel near the lake for a week.

Of course the destination is only the cherry, the cake is the ride in, 4 days there and 4 days back, as yet I have not finalised the route in or out, but coming in we aim to drift north, through germany and into Austria, as i fancy a run up the Grossglockner alpine road. http://www.grossglockner.at/en/hochalpenstrasse/ 

for the route back we shall meander a tad further south and come back through Swizerland, then through france, as there were some places we wanted to vist on our 2010 trip but had to sack seeing as the weather was mosoon!

Anyway me and smarty are itching for the months to fly by and looking to spend some quality time on our bikes, Smartys 1250 Bandit is getting a suspension upgrade soon and i shall be looking to see how far the GTR will go over on the PR3's

As usual I'll have the helmet cam taking pics, so look out for some stunning shots later in the year.!

Ah yes if you are talking about the motorway Carnet, we usually get them and then sell em on ebay when we get back.

That looks superb, the webcams are currently showing lots of snow, which I'm sure will have gone by the time you get there

I'm looking forward to seeing the helmet cam pics when you return  :clap:
