Good pointers, folks.
However, this summer I'm going to have to knock the idea on the head.
I've realised that even with shipping, riding back from Central Italy to Tallinn in 10 days will feel like we are almost always in the saddle.
I don't mind some heavy days but riding more than 3-400km in a day and still trying to explore the destination is less fun.
So, it's back to plan A: Tallinn-Prague-Vienna-Tatras-Tallinn.
However, now that this option is known to me, I will definitely plan a trip to Italy and/or France next year using the bike delivered to destination service. More expensive, but makes seeing more or Europe possible despite tight vacation times.
