Back in the Schengen
We had a great experience with Carrie at Motorcycle Express! The bikes were very well secured with way too many tie down straps, but each one was completely padded. The bikes arrived at Cargo city less than an hour from touchdown at Charle de Gaulle Airport.… Read the rest

A little sightseeing while we wait.
We had a couple of days to explore while waiting for the bike to arrive. The first day the weather was stellar sunny but not too hot. We got a bolt into the city and started our day at the Arc de Triomphe and then we strolled down the Champs Elysee.… Read the rest

More of Corsica and then Sardinia
The forecast is still sketchy, but despite that we woke to sunshine again.
After a brief stop for gas and then at a bakery of coffee and a croissant we were excited to see the wild west coast of Corsica. We planned a 255 km route to stick as much as possible along the shore to Propriano.… Read the rest

The round about way to Corsica
We have booked ferry tickets to Bastia,Corsica from Livorno, Italy. We chose this crossing since it is only 4 1/2 hours and leaves and arrives in the day time. The more southern crossing to Sardinia is an overnight ferry with the need for an expensive stateroom.… Read the rest

The Pyrenees
We headed out late at 11 am north again towards the Pyrenees in France. We planned out route to cross Andorra for country number 43!
We had the perfect storm and over 2 hours in bumper-to-bumper traffic thru Andorra. It is a Saturday and the cross border shoppers are here in droves, the tunnel is closed so all the traffic in on one road, there is a big sporting event on, the boarder guards were spot-checking cars on the road after the slow down for the actual border, and there was a police check after that!… Read the rest
