13th MAY BY BOAT OR GONDOLA?
by admin as part of Europe 2010.Today is a touring day. They got on a bus and went into Venice and spent the day walking around all over the place. Then it was off to see the Grand Canel. They debated on weather to go by gondola or by boat, and chose the latter as the gondola was far too exspensive.

by admin as part of RTW 2008-2015.October, 2008.
We have been back for 5 months. As anyone would feel, we were excited to return home. We enjoyed the shake down trip, and it was a needed learning experience. I have been around the world but not on a motorcycle. It makes a big difference. Cultural differences weren't the biggest challenge. My biggest concern was mechanical and electronic independence confidence.
Ruta 40 & Careterra Austral
by SKILLO as part of Round the World - in Stages.Boxing day is here and we need to leave this little oasis of El Chalten and head North, we refuel and add an extra 5 litres (in a 5 litre plastic water bottle) to the bike. As fellow travellers, Grant and Jules Guerin so succinctly put it, we are now a travelling molotov cocktail.We have calculated it will be a little over 300km to Gobernador Gregores, about the limit of our fuel range so the extra is an insurance policy.

We left St Martin Vesubie heading north west, unfortunately the col de la Bonette was closed due to heavy snow, so we took the Col de la Cayolle instead to Barcelonnette.
Following the roads north we took the Col de Vars then the Col d'Izoard to Briancon where we spent the night at aprox 1200m altitude.

Update
by admin as part of RTW 2008-2015.HI Everyone: Remember there will be times we can't commulnicate because of the small towns we are staying in. We crossed the border without any difficulty. It took about one hour and we were the only ones there.
It was very hot at 830 am (80s). I am carrying so much that I get confused as to what is legimate and what is fake (dummy wallet). Not paying sufficient attention, I gave the immigration officer my dummy credit card. When it was rejected, he acted as if that happened all the time. Within an hour, we were off.
