To Venezia! After a quick hotel buffet breakky we set off – in the direction of Venice This is the bridge that takes traffic to Venice: This road is shared with cars, motorbikes, buses, monorail, train and pedestrians! We’re in Venice! We booked a motorbike bay in a commercial carpark prior to leaving Monselice (no one can take their vehicles into Venice - just the entrance from the bridge of the city only) and were wondering how we’d get our 2 ...

Preparing for the road ahead – destination: Monselice via Maranello – Ferrari town! This dude has no chance of finding a park! We encountered a couple of scoot riders looking for available spaces – the streets were full of parked scooters! Ros doesn’t look happy at this point – we were due to be out of the main city of Florence in 15 mins – however Pol and the Navigator had a slight scuffle and Pol sent Ros on a scenic half ho...

Ros found accommodation for the night – we made sure we had...

Off to See the Pope... 545am wake up – we forgot what that felt like! Pol booked a before opening hours tour of the Vatican – only to realise that in order to get there for 730am, we had to be up at 545! We decided to ride to the Vatican with only a paper map as Ros thought it was easy…however she didn’t realise some of the roads were only one way! After a few detours, we got there in the end. We both needed a coffee to get us going. The s...
