Amsterdam - Kiev - Amsterdam in December
Hello All,
We´ll be driving our car (boooohhhhh, I know, but going by bike is just a little to COOL for me in that time of year) from Amsterdam to Kiev and back in the winter of 2006 / 2007 to visit family.
The planned route is: Amsterdam - Berlin - Warschaw - Kiev and back through the south of Poland via Prague into Germany, Luxembourg and the rest.
Any must sees (weather permitting), must do-s, must stays or other recommendations along this route. Especially interested in your opinions about Poland, Ukraine and the Chech Republic.
Cheers,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
I have emailed your website as I don't have enough posts to reply to private messages yet (but I'm working on it!)
I don't blame you for going East in your car this winter; I was in Kiev last December and it never got about freezing. The countryside can look a bit drab and depressing in winter, it actually look sbetter under the snow than after the thaw. Your route is more to teh norht than mine last summer, I went through the Carpathian area via Lviv/Lvov, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivsty, all of which are very pleasant cities. Kiev itself has some very nice old buildings, my favourite was the caves monastery (Lavra). All in all I think now is the time to go to Ukraine, in a few years time there will be tourists everywhere...

Keep ´em coming!
Thanks for the replies guys. Nigel, I got your email fine, thanks for the extra info.
We have a pretty open schedule. The trip can take anywhere between 30 days and several months.
Cheers from Argentina,
Dirk

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
