Thursday april 29, Angelique tests out brand new E-max, only 1000 km on the clock after buying it the week before.
German parkplatzes fly by as we race the Autobahn. Since I was unable to get a Givi rack in time for my Givi Maxia case we had to improvise with these two Hein Gericke sidebags, a backpack under the saddle and a small backpack on Angelique.
Munchen, our first stop where we spend the night in one of the NH hotels there. It's friday now.
Our first few of the Alps in Austria
Snow still very close
A beautiful church right next to the Austrian highway
Innsbruck
Innsbruck panorama
Entering the autostrada in Italy, in style of course!
Lago di Garda. I think it's really beautiful but it was hard to tell with all the rain that was pooring down at the time. We decided not to follow the lake due to the weather and to continue along the autostrada.
Rain pissing in Garda...
After lots of rain, showers, thunderstorms and traffic jams around Bologna we finally arrive in Rome at our hotel.
Our room
Saturday, let's scoot thru Rome.
Monumenta Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuelle II
Romans are weird guys...
Sign says it all, really...
The Roman Forum... Foro Romano
The coloseo
a waterfall that has run so long it actually has stalagtites...
This is right above the waterfall in the previous picture, the sedimentation is enormous.
One of the few remaining emperor's houses
The view from the Palatino hill
Parking E-max between all the hundreds of scoots to find a nice place to eat. A scooter is really very handy in Rome :-)
The things you encounter in the tiny streets of Rome, like this very special Moto Guzzi
We ride to a hill, in the west of the city to enjoy the night panorama...
Smarts, they're really popular in Rome. You can see in the next pictures why..
Yes, it's parked...
Sunday... The summer palace of the pope is situated right at the other side of this crater lake, Lago Albano.
Pizza and cola as a quick lunch on our way to the Apenine mountains, east of Rome.
Snowpeaked, these are real mountains!
Ancient towns with old fortresses hidden in the hills...
