The bikes in St Antinien without panniers for a change, lol.


Toboggan run in Germany. We paid about $12 to go up the mountain in a ski lift and then come down a toboggan run on rails that took ages and scared the **** out of us. I refused to use the brakes which probably didn't help, lol.


Black forest gateau eaten in the black forest, Germany


Me and Chris playing the age old game of "Who can hold onto the electric fence the longest", lol. Didn't really hurt enough so we both gave up


Chris's boots fell apart on the trip and ended up held together with duct tape


Next instalment coming soon

We were real knackered on the way up the Gavia pass coz the road was only one lane wide like a farm track in places and we had high gearing for the motorways, which meant we were slipping the clutches and worried we wouldn't make the climb, lol.

Stopped for food up the Gavia pass before the clouds rolled in.


Same place 5 minutes later when the clouds rolled in, eek!


We didn't fancy riding hairpins with no visibility so we waited a few minutes and set off again with a clear view


Just a couple of photos of the many Stelvio pass hairpins


You don't have to be crazy to ride this road.........but it helps, lol.


More below,

I think the kid said something like "Spero che egli cade in acqua"

A storm comes to get us, looked like the end of the world, lol.


It bucketed down for about half an hour so we took refuge at a supermarket and had lunch


Then a rainbow appeared, appartently these stumpy rainbows have a special name but i don't know what it is off the top of my head. Answers by email to whogivesacrap@hotmail.com :P


Venice by night


The lads take a dip in lake Garda, ok, i guess you'd prefer to see the ladies next?


I'm sure i can find some of the ladies bathing if i try hard enough, lol........... coming soon

A few lighthearted pics

Claire decides to take a dip but Sue soaks her before she can even get in, lol.


Clare gets in even though she didn't bring a swimsuit


Claire is gonna kill me for this one, but if she insists on weeing in the lake she deserves it, lol. She wasn't really relieving herself, but it looks like it I was right, she said i have to remove it, lol. If you missed it, it's gone now i'm afraid

Claire tries to do a Jorge Lorenzo jump off the top podium step at the top of the Stelvio pass.


But i think my Clare has been practicing, how good is this jump? lol.


Some nice pics of old buildings etc from Venice next i think, coming soon

Exactly. What an awesome trip. I feel like hopping on a plane and renting a bike when I get there.
