Sweden - > Italy trip tips
 

I was planning on doing my first european trip this summer. Bought my first bike last year http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif Going Sweden -> Denmark -> Germany -> Switzerland -> Italy ( Tuscany ) -> France -> Belgium -> Netherlands -> Germany -> Denmark -> Sweden.

Anyone got any tips on where to stay and what to see on my way. Only planning a 3-4 weeks for this. I guess i'm gonna stop at the Giger museum and maybe se the french riviera http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/wink.gif

Ahh, that looks nice http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/wink.gif good pitstop on the way home...

If you like sizzling heat, traffic jams, mad drivers and tourist ripoffs the you will like it here.

If not, I suggest you avoid the Riviera like the plague and head for the mountains instead.

Places to stay:

http://www.relais-motard-fontgaillarde.com (South of the Col d'Allos)

L'Abbaye de Valcroissant, just South of Die. Map: http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichel...1424&x=24&y=11

Gîte de Toureves, Genolhac, map: http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichel...oductId=&x=0&y =0 (the location isn't exact, it's on the right side of the road as you drive up the mountain.)

Salut from Southern France, the bikers' paradise,

Ok, maybe i'll avoid the riviera then. I guess i'm gonna see the brand new big bridge in france. Looks like it has got some nice views http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/wink.gif

beddhist is right about the traffic jams but visiting Monaco and Nice and driving the (busy) coast road was a nice experience for me anyhow so if you're not afraid of traffic jams just try it and drive like the French (complete madness but fun ;-)
