... Let's see... Last year you took two days to north Germany. Now you need two weeks to get to Sweden??? Hmm... I guess you're doing a little sightseeing on the way, right? And maybe even some sleep this time.
Bengt, Sorry I didn't respond to this the last time I posted but ... Yes, you are right on both counts!

Great to here that you have a laptop with you, i was hoping on getting updates and pictures of your trip along the way! Johann
Johann, I have accumulated 2500 pictures in the last week of which I have selected approximately 220 (and I am only a third of the way on the trip) that I would very much like you guys to see as they each have something special about them. I am unable to write much given the time I finish each night (it's after 04:30am here in Florence right now). So, I'll save the write-up until later. Anyhow, we are on our second night in Florence and are on our way to Innsbruck in Austria or Munich tomorrow (depending on Kathy's endurance levels).
What follows below is NOT a ride report, but some pictures of the Speedy in very unique places (the latter few especially). A few years back someone posted (I think it was on the old forum) a picture of the new 1000cc (Paul Smart replicas???) Sport Ducatis overlooking Florence. Well, now we have our very own ...
Note: The pictures will take a short while to load as they are quite large (I have tried to preserve as much quality as possible).
Coming off the ship in BARI:
Bike on ship to Capri from Sorrento (the interest here is the Fiat 500 next to bike ... sorry for bad quality):
Coming off ship in Naples, from Capri (another bad one):
I think this one's self-explanatory :
This one is in Rome again just off the Piazza Venezia:
This one was taken at noon today in Florence:
After lunch (in Florence), we decided it was worth an almost 200km trip, just to take this picture (amongst many others):
... and last but not least a night shot after we returned to Florence from Pisa:
That's it for now, I am hoping that you like them.
