Italy

Fast forward through Slovenia and Italy!

Not far from Umag Croatia, I ride through Slovenia.  Heading for a planned stop at Lake Bled, as so many people have recommended it to me.  It’s not far, I’m not in a hurry, so I pick the little dirt roads.. well me and Mr. Garmin picked them. My camera is still very sick if not dying.  It’s getting really bad.. I get the odd picture...

I found a Koala in Tuscany Italy!

A pretty sorry looking one at that… really stands out though here in Tuscany. One last post to wrap up my time in Italy.. How much will  I miss the comforts of a home!??  A washing machine, a kitchen, a warm bed that I don’t have to search for at night, so many things I love about home..  So here is a little bit of the last days of my life...

Tuscany in January.. friends, food, and culture!

I was honored to have good friends whom I’ve met earlier on this journey travel all the way from Estonia to visit Italia, and me..! Maris and Anneli.  Our main goal together was an Italian culinary extravaganza!!  Food, wine, cheese.. what else!  And I think I can vouch for all of us, mission was a complete success. But first a look around to...

Italy – Tuscany Snow

I have been lucky enough to visit Italy a couple times before in my life.. Rome, Naples, Genoa, Pisa and Florence.  They are all amazing and worth seeing again and again!  But nobody has ever said to me, “Sherri, if you go to Italy, you must visit Assisi.”  This is something I feel I need to say to you or anybody who wanted to know.. First...

Italian Adventure begins in Assisi

There’s snow in ‘them hills!  Ahh, after the beautiful sunset leaving Croatia the night before, I arrived on the early morning ferry to Ancona Italy in.. you guessed it, the rain.  I didn’t pull the camera out of the bag, no point and kept it dry. So, this will be a non-motorcycley blog post, but I absolutely loved this town and...

Zadar Croatia plus vintage cars, bikes, Italy and Alfred Hitchcock!

During a visit, Alfred Hitchcock is quoted saying this place in Zadar Quay is where the most beautiful sunset in the world can be seen.  For this, he gets this picture placed firmly on the boardwalk.. he obviously made the city proud.  (I, myself did not see such a sunset in Zadar.. too much rain. So good thing for this poster to tell me about it!) Zadar...

Croatia Krk Island

Next stop, Krk Island Croatia!  After my overnight in Italy, I take the fast road back to where I was close to Rijeka, and aim for Krk Island.  Two reasons… 1) it was recommended as an amazing place and 2) I put out my Horizons Unlimited request for advice in Croatia and one of the responses came from a person there. Can I just tell you that picture...
