Uk, France, stop off in Germany, down to Austria for a stop off, into the Italian mountains and across Slovenia, hairpin mountain roads all the way. See grey Audi’s are good really Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Manky Monkey on August 06, 2018, 07:07:46 PM That's a hell of a day trip!

Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Archie on August 08, 2018, 08:24:05 AM Not too bad as stopped in Bavaria and Austria overnight

Sounds like a great trip matey.
Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Archie on August 08, 2018, 10:27:07 PM Rothenbourg is part of the “romantic road” which is the medieval / fairytale ones, so supposed to be a good trip. They’re a bit dark though history wise - pretty much murdering witches left right and centre.

Fun fact about Slovenia - every road is a mountain road, so very fun to drive, but takes HOURS to get anywhere. Bled from the apartment is 24 miles as the crow flies, but took 2.5 hours to drive there. Very pretty, very tourist hell. Went to a gorge down the road on the way back. It has the walkways and bridges all made from wood criss crossing all the way down.

Can't believe 2.5 hrs to go 24 miles. That must have been a heck of a lot of hairpin bends. Don't think I would cope. I found it bad enough driving over the Welsh mountains from Llanidloes to Aberystwyth! Don't like sheer drops. I would have got out while the driver reversed. :o :-\
Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Archie on August 09, 2018, 05:11:44 PM Yeah, unfortunately I was the driver :D
Reason we’re over is for a festival - punk rock holiday Best thing about it - (https://preview.ibb.co/k0tqbU/AB43_C06_B_6_FCF_490_C_9_DD3_C0_CC87556696.jpg) (https://ibb.co/e5wXqp) Is it’s on the river - it’s hitting 33/34 degrees here at the moment, so fresh clear water in the mountains to swim about in is a godsend. Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Manky Monkey on August 09, 2018, 08:51:24 PM Oh. That last photo ruined it for me. If you could take all the people away I'd love it.
Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: stinkey on August 09, 2018, 09:02:17 PM I'm with Andy
Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: BikerGran on August 09, 2018, 09:07:59 PM My younger daughter just spent a week in Slovenia paddleboarding (It's what she does, her hobby AND her job) - paddling all those lovely lakes and gorges!
Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Baychimp on August 09, 2018, 09:13:55 PM Did you notice in that last photo,someone had taken his couch to the beach. :D
Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Manky Monkey on August 09, 2018, 09:56:02 PM :)
Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: BikerGran on August 09, 2018, 11:02:08 PM Did you notice in that last photo,someone had taken his couch to the beach. :D It's one of those inflatable ones! Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Archie on August 09, 2018, 11:24:26 PM Oh. That last photo ruined it for me. If you could take all the people away I'd love it. Oh don’t worry about them, that’s just by the beach stage, behind them is another mile or so of private little shady areas to get in. Very jealous of her Bobbi, all the rivers we’re crossing here look amazing. But if you do want sparse with no people and great views with fun roads Andy I do recommend it here Slovenia population = approx 2 million people supposedly and is 20000 square km (approx) The other thing that is quite amusing is on the really windy roads they have signs targeted at motorcyclists which are of a character falling off a bike and for how many km’s You’ll potentially be crashing for Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Manky Monkey on August 10, 2018, 05:20:49 AM :)
Title: Re: Italy / Slovenia border Post by: Manky Monkey on August 13, 2018, 09:39:21 PM I bumped into Tom this morning. I didn't realise you guys had gone together, to a festival. Sounds like it was a fantastic trip, although he looked knackered after going back to work this morning :)
