We are starting our tour through 6 European countries with countless castles, monasteries and wonderful riding routes. The group from the US brings a ton of experience and loves riding. This will be a whole lot of fun.
We started of with a little rain in the morning, but 2 hours into the day everything dried up and at lunch the sun came out an turned it into a beautiful day.
Leaving Dresden with a few last views of it. Going on the German Autobahn, where the speed of 130 km/h is only a suggestion, you can follow, but you don´t have to. Entering Poland, entering Czech Republic, entering Poland again and arriving finally at our destination for the night in the Czech Republic. Great roads and a lot of fun.
Our last day in the Czech Republic is a pure riding day. Hitting the back roads and the mountains on the Polish boarder. A perfect day in perfect conditions. Dry, sunny and not too hot.
On this rest day in Krakow our guests used the chance to visit Auschwitz and Birkenau. The impressions and information were breathtaking. After their return, we took the to the city center and had a very nice dinner right in front of the Krakow Cloth Hall.
We started in Poland and went south to the Slovakian border. Great weather and nice roads as we entered the Tatra Mountains. Despite some construction going on, we had a lot of fun on the mountain roads.
Starting in the hills of Slovakia and rolling over to the plains of Hungary. Another sunny day with empty backroads. And we are entering the 6th and last country from our list.
The group took the day off and explored Budapest and its wonderful sights. There is so much to see, that one day is not nearly enough. At dinner we had not one but 2 good reasons to celebrate. One of our guests and our van-driver had birthday. Not only born on the same day, but in the same year also. What are the odds...
We are starting our last riding day in Budapest and are heading to the north. Esztergom, the third biggest cathedral of all Europe is our first stop. Then we crossed the Danube und followed it upstream to the west. After a very nice littly icecream stop in Györ, we arrived at the Paneuropean Picnic place. This is, where the fall of the iron curtain and the Berlin wall started, even though it is quite a way from Berlin. After checking in for our afternoon icecream and a short stop at the Vienna Harley Davidson dealer, we arrived safe and happy at our final destination in Vienna. A great tour, great people, awesome riders and a lot of impressions. Thank you all. You have been such a great group.
