Hi Guys!!!

Having read loads of threads I am still not very confident about a nice route to see all around Europe in 4 months.

The picture is:

A Brazilian couple (23 and 21 Yrs) going 2-up on a GS1100 (Or a V-Strom 1000, not sure yet) around Europe for 3-4 months (from June till October, 2006), my other half's got a Dutch Passport and I’ve got an English Residence Permit Visa (5 Years) on my Brazilian Passport, so we should be Ok with Visas.

We are planning to head North of France, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia (leave the bike there and go into Russia by train for a week ), Latvia, Lithuania. Then into Poland, Ukraine (don’t know if it’s worth), Slovakia (We’re not going to Czech Rep, cause we’ve been there already, it’s a wonderful place), Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria (Don’t know if it’s too dangerous), Greece (we want to spend at least a week there). After that we’re gonna ride up to Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, then Italy, France (again) Spain and Portugal.

So, any thoughts about it?

By ANY I mean absolutely Anything, if you tell me: “you shouldn’t go there, you should spend more time overthere…”Whatever, I’ll consider and appreciate it very much indeed.

We’d like some information about the best time to hit Norway, if Estonia, Lat and Lit are dangerous, nice routes that we could get in Croatia, if we are missing a nice country that we should go to, etc…As I said, anything that you could help with would be GREAT!

We’re a looking to stay in cheap Hotels rather then camping, we’re not gonna be eating in expensive restaurants, we’d just like the minimum (that means a hot shower and a bed, garage for the bike and some sandwiches will do)!

The Budget is about £70.00 (+/- €100.00) p/day…Too short?Too much?

The other thing that’s gonna be quite difficult is the Insurance, I have a Brazilian licence, so anyone know a company that would Insure a UK registered bike with a Brazilian rider? I’ve got a car here (UK), which is Insured trhu Churchil, but they said they wouldn’t do the Bike (????).

Thanks very much
Fernando and Maraisa
