Europe Motorbike Tour, France

May 22, 2011

Camped at the Campeole Val de Coise, Saint Galmier, near Saint Etienne. Had a walk into the town and got lost, ended up walking extra 3 miles! Still managed to find the town before the pub and pizza shop shut though. Only cost £4 to camp. Weather was fantastic again, sun out all day without a cloud in sight.

Left the Lo Stambecco campsite at 9am, heading to Saint Etienne, France for the next stop. The campsite is about 20 km out of town on windy roads through the mountains.

Lo Stambecco campsite, Italy. Stayed here for one night, the river is about 20 metres away from the tent, which helped me sleep. Staff gave us a free shot of liquor, not sure what it was but it smelt like petrol! Tasted nice though. An Alsatian lived on the site with the owners, which didn't like me, meant I had to pee in the woods rather than walk past it to the toilets!

A fantastic road between Switzerland and Italy. Had to stop to take a photo.

Met a nice couple from Bristol, Steve & Glynis. They saved our lives by charging our mobiles for us. They were on a 2-3 month tour of Europe on a Honda Valkyrie 1500, which had a trailer fitted!
