With Autoslaap train gone now, we have had to re-arrange our yearly trip. With the best will in the world, Getting back from tuscany to home in one day with a mileage of 1,200 miles is out of even the seasoned bikers ride out... LOL. So, we are travelling from the Northwest to Calias, then onto Dusseldorf. Then, Leipzig, and 2 nights in Prague. Then Leipzig again. Then Hannover then a few nights in Amsterdam, before catching ferry Home overnight. Can't wait!
I did the train last year to Italy, real shame its gone but it was a bit cramped and facilities not brill eg 1 shower per carriage - there were 20 bikers in my carriage! and the station in Holland had no facilities really. But it did save a few days riding and gave me some time and it was an adventure but have a great trip, I'm off to South of France this year usually camp but too old now so hotels for me this time!
