All I can say is my GPS fully understands me as it selected the most amazing roads today.
There was even a bunch of Marmots playing on the side of the road. Perfect day but was hard to leave the gang in Grasse.
Another great day out on the Med
Today the whole family went out on a bigger boat. The trip included a bit of wake boarding and lunch in a place similar to Brisbane with houses on man made canals.
We then paid a visit to St Tropez for a quick look at some major floating homes.
This is the house of Bridget Bardot.
Canne is all about boat envy
Spent a lovely afternoon out on the Mediterreanian off the coast of Canne. My friends had an awesome boat…
But no matter how big it was, size matters. Did not bump into anyone famous except myself and this guy, Jerome.
There was even a delivery pizza boat….what a job eh, I will gladly learn French, Italian, Spanish and German to be a pizza delivery boy out here.
Some pics of others boats etc..
In case you are wondering which one was Jerome’s, here he is getting it ready.
Napoléon would have been a motorcyclist!
Today I travelled the Route Napoléon and based on the road he would have ridden a motorbike for sure.
Not too many photos as I was having far too much fun but was a solid 450k ride today.
I’m now staying with friends about 14 k North of Canne who I met in New Zealand in 2001. This is their place in France, might do a house swap.
The rest of the pics are from today, epic ride and scenery.
Stopped in a small cafe along the way, spoke no English but the kids played Rugby so I gave them a NZ sticker.
I ended up here purely by accident.
Yesterday I spent the night in Lucerno on way to catch up with friends in Grasse, southern France.
I spent most of the day riding through the Italian Alps, towns and villages then I hit the Aosta – Turin valley and WOW is all I can say. On every hill stood an old castle which in historical days would have collected taxes from everyone passing.
I stopped in Aosta nd booked a place in Lzndry, France but did not realise it was two hours away and in order to get there I had to cross the St Bernard Pass….of dear but what a way to end the day.
Back to Austria
After our visit to Innsbruck a few weeks ago I was humbled when I got an invite to the wedding of Lara & Sebastian but in accepting it I had to postpone my Balkans Tour till next year, but this is all good as the wedding was amazing and they have so many lovely friends.
So just a few pics here of my trip back to Austria, it rained again and the wedding.
I came from Venzone in Italy through to Innsbruck, Austria.
No idea where I was but the journey was amazing
Well I knew I had to head West but that was as much as I put into todays plan. What eventuated was the best ride I have had this trip.
I started in Kranj, Slovenia and have finshed in Venzone, Italy. Venzone was completly destroyed by an earthquake in 1966 so feeling right at home here.
