Where to start !!!!
A little over a year ago i'd been in the process of planning a west coast Africa trip and the troble kicked off in Mali and me on French plates !!! and to top it all i was diagnosed with this illness and so it all fizzeled out
Not to be beaten i turned to an eastern trip ......round the Black Sea this year (thumbs)
Had the bike and dressed it up and booked 4 weeks off
And low and behold the bloody Ruskies kicked off :S
Undetermind i set of settling on getting to Georgia.................this was all agains our lasses wishes say i was not well enough :whistle:
Word to the wise..............listern to the one that loves you
Anyway being a pig headed fool i was off , sun shining and couldn't be happier.....i'd plumbed in nothing bigger than a B road to Slovenia
Basically heading east on back roads i even had time to watch the trains go by
Passed some doer upers on the way
And finnaly poping out on the Gorge du Tarn :woohoo: on which " MOUTH" my GPS told me cross straight over up here
This was a new road for me as i'd turned left at the gorge base before
Another but cheaper doer uper :blink:
Up the other side i was graced with a crackin view
One marker down from the top
Then wide open places and no one about , a few pics on the way to Orange
I always though Orange was in eastern France not BAVARIA :whistle:
Its was a Touratwat do so i suppose they can be forgivern :whistle:
At least my camp neigbour had some taste B)
This guy was in a wheel chair (thumbs) respect (thumbs)
All in all not a bad do, if a little bias , the Black Pig got a fair bit of attension especially at 7.30 am with me fixing a flat back tyre :S after the thunder strom from hell ..................or so i thought :blink:

Re: BOSNIA AND BACK ..........A BRICKIES TALE
The skies cleared and the Pig carried up and down dale and we really started to become one ...................my arse felt like part of the seat :laugh:
Latter that day i ran into these
And before long i'd ventured into Italy , stopped at this Auberge
And learnt "ZIMMER CAMERE" doesn't meen old peoples cameras :whistle:
They made me eat STRING !!!! but it was OK
And the view was epic
The Pig even got a bed (thumbs)
Breakfast was odd but worked
And all for less than €40 (thumbs)
Having never cross the top of Italy before i had know idea what to expect .....it's shite ..............so no pics untill Alessandria where i copped for the cheapest hotel i could find €50 just room
The Pigs room wasn't as good as the night before
The Italians seem to have a fasination with old jet fighters saw at least a dozen on route but only got a couple of pics
Getting towards east Italy the sceanary inproved and the locals stopped staring :unsure:
The old guys in here even bought my coffee (thumbs)
Still clean Pig in a vin yard sporting the new HUM sticker :whistle:
I was way ahead of schedule so went to have a look at this blue spot onmy map
Ehhhh proper nice fer a lad that grew up in a railway town
Its was lake Garda palm trees and all B)
Boy it big !!!! not like our canal when i was a kid :laugh:
More later
