Our way to Breganze in short:
Day 1, Tu Jul 2nd, meet up with mate Juergen at Rhine ferry Bad Hoeninngen, rain gear req’d
Day 2, break in Biberach a.d. Riß, rain gear req’d
Day 2, break in Bichlbach (before Fern Pass), rain gear req’d
Day 3, start in the Ötztal, now we are five (+Hamish, Luigi & Manni), and hey, nice weather
Unfortunately, Luigi’s Jota broke down shortly after our lunch break behind Cles. As there seemed no way to fix the issue at the side of the road we decided to continue with the remaining four.
Turned out later, that it was the battery (broken cell). After his woes with numerous taxi transfers, he could continue later and made it safely home to the UK eventually.
Our stay in Breganze in short:
Pictures of the piazza, the Saturday-tour and the museum have already been shown. What stays in our minds: We were more than pleased with our lovely accommodation. We felt very much at home with Stefania and Paolo.
Our way home in short:
Way home day 1 (Tu Jul 9th): Was already subject of former travel reports of mine, but I did it again, the Passo San Boldo.
No more road before Forcella di Pala Barzana, but a tricky bypass
Forcella di Pala Barzana
Poffabro
Making off the picture before
Sella di Cereschiatis
Short break @Malga Tratten before Nassfeld Pass
Way home day 2: Sometimes it’s worth to take a view back – approach to the Grossglockner
Same place but look ahead
Juergen and his RGS @Edelweißspitze
Same same – but with my 3c
In the last hour of our leg, more and more threatening clouds piled up in the west, they became blacker, and the journey became more dramatic with every minute. Lightning flashed around us, and the view was partly obscured by clouds of dust that the wind had whipped up from the fields. We reached our hotel in Wasserburg am Inn literally at the last second. With putting my 3c on the center stand, an incredible thunderstorm with torrential downpour started.
After our dinner Wasserburg appeared clean washed and lovely again
Way home day 3:
Not much to report, we ploughed through Germany on beautiful, little-frequented small roads, visited the Altmühltal and Hohenlohe area, the day's destination was near Forchtenberg
View attachment 91144
Way home day 4: Cont’d through the Odenwald area (home of Juergen), bypassed Frankfurt on the Autobahn and further went on through the Westerwald, but no pics to show. The last 50kays before Cologne it started to drizzle but I was too lazy to put the rain gear on and the leathers kept tight enough.
My 3c never missed a beat and consumed just 0.2 l oil on the 2400 total kays.
It was a pleasure!
Cheers,
Jo
