Tomorrow Hubby and I start a journey of around 3800 kilometers (over 2300 miles) in 2 weeks on a motorcycle.
My mother's first question: "Where are you going to pack 2 weeks' worth of clothing on a motorbike?"
Good point. Well last night I packed my side pannier and Hey Presto! It pretty much all fitted. My little strappy summer shift dresses each take up less space than my deodorant. Not that I'm planning to wear dresses on the bike - we'll be wearing our proper bike suits for the actual riding (I'm sure we'll smell just great by the time the 2 weeks is up). The dresses are for the evenings - watching sunsets in the Alps and such like.
So, 3800km to go - and that's not counting the drive from Dublin to Rosslare harbour to catch the ferry either, which is another
couple of hundred km's or so.
What the hell are we thinking??!
Ah, I remember now. It was one of Hubby's lifelong dreams, to 'do' Europe by bike. And I agreed why? Because I want to take pretty pictures of different places. Sound reasons to embark on such a journey, I'm sure you'll agree.
So anyway, my little corner of Blogland will be rather quiet for the next couple of weeks (and possibly a bit longer because I suspect it may take some time to type up all my adventures and sort through the photos to find the best stuff to Show And Tell you guys).
Seeya in a couple of weeks!
