My trip so far.
Just thought I would let you know how I am doing. I left for Amsterdam on Monday. It took me a total of about 16 hours including the ferry crossing to get from Cardiff, Wales to Amsterdam, NL. The weather once I hit the mainland was awful! Most of the ride from Brussles to Amsterdam was done in rain so bad I could barely see 10 feet infront of me so I was just following taillights.
Reached amsterdam at about midnight local time, headed straight for the first tramline I could find and found out they are incredibly slippery.
Spent 2 nights in Amsterdam and 1 day. The day was spent getting repairs and buying a new crash helmet and the night was spent enjoying the local produce! Left for Stuttgart the next day (Wed) Good ride down, nice weather and pretty much uneventful. Arrived in Stuttgart at 10pm local time and to top it of the bike registered 1000 miles as I entered the city.
Stayed with a friend in Stuttgart and I am pushing on to Prague while the weather holds. I booked my hostel for July which was a bit silly so I have to go book a different one now as that one is full for tonight. Might spend 2 or 3 nights in Prague for the R&R and to see the beautiful city properly.
Been lost a couple of times on the way because of a lack of GPS. Wish me luck! :-D
