Leaving our friends in Germany was a little sad, but then we were heading to Innsbruck to see some more friends, also our route would take us over a pass in the Austrian Alps, it was breathtaking. The down side was that the roads were wet, the upside, it wasn't raining on us. We arrived in Innsbruck on a Monday night and headed straight to a campground our friends had recommended as being close to town with good amenities, the amenities were good and it was clos...

We only just crossed into Germany before we found a camp to stay in, it was in a city called Neuenburg. Here we had only just ridden the bike into the camping area when an older German couple came over to talk to us, the wife could speak better English than the husband, but it was still limited. They were amazed to hear about our travels and it became a little embarrassing when they would tell others about us. The camp had a restaurant where we had dinner, our ...

We were fortunate that we arrived in Dole early, we hadn't booked a campground and by the time we arrived, it was filling quickly and by the time we had dinner the place was full to overflowing.

The town has a river running by with lots of boats, some flying Australian flags. On a canal running off the river were huge homes built in ...

From Normandy we decided to keep heading south in the hope of finding warmer dryer weather, so far it had only just been a bit better than the UK. To get to Argenton-sur-Creuse we passed through Le Mans, where they had held the 24 Hour race the weekend before. We stopped in Le Mans for lunch, we found a park in a poorer part of town where we could make lunch on a park table/bench. I say a poorer part of the city as there was a lot of high rise housing and the ...

We caught the ferry to France on Friday with the hope of finding dryer, warmer weather, we had had only a couple of fine days in England. On arrival in France the weather was already better. Though one thing that took some getting used to again was riding on the RH side of the road, not since America have we traveled on the other side of the road. For a start I didn't find it too hard, there were other cars and road markings to help, but back country lanes that...
