Proposed trip to Eastern Europe
Hi all
I'm new to the HUBB, so forgive any ignorance on my part.
My friend and I are planning a three week trip into Europe, probably next May. My friend visited Croatia with his wife this summer (sailing & touristing) and was impressed. It's suggested that might be our final destination, but it'll be a round trip. We've also been influenced by Michael Palin's "new Europe" trip. Other than that we've no fixed ideas. We'll be travelling on BMW R1200GSs and are relatively new to this kind of thing. We enjoyed a week in NW Scotland in Oct this year (amazingly fine weather). We don't really want to go outside the coverage of our BMW warranty and assistance packages (ie all of Europe).
We've got a bit of a hankering for some low-key off-road stuff on the way; hoping to get on the BMW off-road skills course before our trip.
Looking for any thoughts from more experienced travellers. All ideas greatfully received, including alternatives to what I've suggested.
We both live in the Peak District (Derbyshire UK) so that's our start point.
Cheers
Geoff
