Two weeks in Europe on the bike, tormenting Johnny foreigner - always a bit of a mystery as we just look at the weather forecast then decide..... Then a week in the Northern wastelands in September.....
I’m heading over to Belgium in July on the Harley
The MC are going to be there already so I’m meeting them for a bit then me and the laddie are heading off ourselves. No idea where, we have a chopper show in Margate the week after so will be back for that.
Germany Mibbe ?
I really need to get a passport!!
I fly out on Thursday
I collect my passport at my urgent issue appointment on Wednesday ffs.🤦
 
Well, since you mentioned it, I do holiday a bit. This year I have just come back from a 14 day cruise around Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. Tomorrow I am off to Prague for most of the week. Then I am off to France for a couple of days. I have booked a week in Seville a bit later in the year. September is a week in Singapore just after the Grand Prix (not one to boast, but I am staying at the Raffles). November, I should be in South Africa for two weeks hunting plains game, if all goes well. December, a week in Cyprus (bit of sun before Christmas). I wonder if I can I squeeze another one in somewhere ?

We've had to give up our Euro bike tours, we've had some great times and memories. The advancing years and failing health have caught up. The plane is now taking the strain:oops:
 
End of May, off to Madrid with my two sons. Wife is dog sitting. Eldest will have just finished at Uni; so bit of a reward trip. Youngest flies back after a couple of days due to work - but me and the oldest one are then off to Pamplona and San Sebastian. Then train to Hendaye and up to Bordeaux - then fly back. Bit of a planes trains and automobiles trip to basically eat and drink our way around northern Spain and SW France.

September, I'm off to Normandy with the wife and also taking the mutt. The plan is to visit the beaches/landing sites and Bayeux etc.

Don't do beach holidays - not for me anymore.

Always a bit of a surprise where we go.....ended up in Sweden at the Superrally a couple of years ago which was good. Before that aimed for Spain, but ended up in Normandy as the weather in South of France was rubbish. Starting in the Netherlands and always just work on the basis that as long as we're back in Ijmuiden in time for the ferry home everything else is a mystery! Have tent will travel!:D

If it’s a Calais entry, N roads down to sedan, jump over into the Belgium Ardennes, meander down to the Alsace region the across and down through the Schwarzwald {B500} get to the bottom, back into France and come up through lower and upper voges mountains…….. a good round trip 👍
 
Pop into The Cavern of the Curious Gnome for a nice beer.

It's located in the Rows, which are the timber galleries looking over the streets.
Cheers I will. It would be good to meet people of my stature and curiosity level plus I like beer
