A dry day, whoop. Just got to Pontarlier on the Swiss border after 590 miles in two days. Great roads from Troyes to Besancon, D619 and D67 if you go that way.

Good ride down to the coast, motorway and some twisty roads in between. Delightful, quirky apartment in the town centre. Found a restaurant recommended by our host that was excellent 👌 Heading for Rome now 😬Meer informatie

Rome
30 mei 2025, Italië ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Glad to get into Rome after 210 miles in the heat, had to dodge the crazy scooter riders in the city though 😳. Fabulous day today exploring the Colosseum Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. The historic site is huge, so much to take in, a day really isn't long enough! Over 20000 steps plus some of the paving is actually massive granite stones so a good job we had trainers on 😁Meer informatie

The Vatican
31 mei 2025, Italië ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Another cultural day viewing the Vatican museums, again so much to see. The audio guide is well worth it in both the Colosseum and Vatican (finding the Vatican audio play number is a little tricky though). Highlights were the Gallery of Maps, Raphael Rooms, Pinacoteca (Art Gallery),
of course the The Sistine Chapel. By the time we came out of the museums it was mid afternoon so followed the Vatican wall around to Saint Peter’s Basilica. Even though it's free to enter there is still a security check to go through and the queue was massive. 40 minutes to get in but magnificent architecture. Back on the bike tomorrow, heading for Pompeii 😎Meer informatie

Pompeii
2 juni 2025, Italië ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
The city is quite compact with plenty of bars and restaurants. Short walk from our apartment to the east side of the archaeological Pompeii site. It's unbelievable that the entire Roman city was buried under debris from mout Vesuvius. Great day exploring the ruins but you need the audio guide. Similar to Palatine Hill, the roads are made from huge granite blocks. Apparently they were often flooded to wash away waste water and sewage, with high kerbs and stepping stones to cross the road 😬Meer informatie

Amalfi coast

Late afternoon and evening ride around the famous Amalfi coust, about 40 miles of the twistiest road I've been on. Fabulous views that the camara just doesn't capture. Heading north tomorrow.

Civitanova Marche

Moving on to Civitanova Marche, for an overnight. Cooling of a little from +30°c to a comfortable 26°c. Lovely beach front town but an annoying main line tain track right in the middle of it 🙄. Found a great fish restaurant though, catering for gluten free 👍.Meer informatie

Chioggia
6 juni 2025, Italië ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Arrived here yesterday after our VR46 visit, mostly motorway and the landscape is pretty flat so not that interesting but caught glimpses of the Adriatic Sea and the coast line. Chioggia is a little Venice, only a few canals but picturesque all the same. Our hotel is in the south side of Sottomarina area which has a huge sandy beach. Chioggia town centre is about 45 minutes walk but it's been a glorious day and there are plenty of bars on the way 😉Meer informatie

Prato Allo Stelvio
7 juni 2025, Italië ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
We've arrived in Prato Allo Stelvio, about 10 miles from the Swiss / Italian boarder. Flat landscape to start but got a lot more interesting from Trento and found a few twisty bits after Bolzan Bozen. A few snow topped mountains around us and a few clouds 😬. Forecast is not that great tomorrow so might be a bit damp crossing Switzerland 😳.Meer informatie

Swiss passes
8 juni 2025, Zwitserland ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
We managed to dodge the rain this morning. Started in Italy taking the SS41 road to the Swiss border then on the 28 over the Ofenpass at 7050 ft (2149m), great scenery. Along the same road to Flueelapass at 7821 ft (2384m), so a little higher. This time we were into thick clouds and fog so couldn't see a thing and the road was soaking wet. Great road though on the dry bit either side of the mountain 😁.Meer informatie

Germany to France
9–13 jun. 2025, Frankrijk ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Long spells on the German Auotbahn and French motorway so not that interesting but we did find a couple of twisty roads cutting across the Black Forest heading for Metz. Dry day and a little cooler than we've been used to for the last 10 days 🥶Meer informatie
