Day Eight – Germany

lazybones51 — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 22:56:52 +0000

We expected to have a disrupted nights sleep due to all of the noise and drinking going on around us, fortunately we managed to block most of it out and sleep alright. Today we’re aiming to cross the remaining 300ish miles of Germany, stopping at a couple of places along the way and finishing the … Continue reading Day Eight – Germany

Removing the rear panel

It’s been a while since I did anything substantial to the Cinquecento, mainly because life got in the way. However I have been making a concious effort to try and get things going again, having purchased a welder and all the paraphernalia to go with it I have no excuse to not crack on with … Continue reading Removing the rear panel

We didn’t sleep all that well last night due to very high winds up on the valley side, I actually got out the tent in the middle of the night to make sure the bike hadn’t been blown over it was that bad! The weather was still windy but now the rain had moved in … Continue reading Day Seven – Austria and Germany

Day Six – Italy and Austria

We woke to a beautiful sunny morning in Venice, Italy. It was already nice and warm even at 08:00 in the morning, this made a pleasant change when compared with the weather we had over the previous few days. Whilst cooking up a bit of breakfast I thought I would make the most of it … Continue reading Day Six – Italy and Austria

Day Five – Italy

Today started well, the sky was blue with hardly a cloud in sight and the early morning mist rising in the distance. From our camp we had a stunning view over Verona, Italy with the immediate area being populated with many large trees. Although the only draw back of the clear morning sky was the fact … Continue reading Day Five – Italy

Day Four – Italy

We were woken in Lake Como, Italy by the sound of torrential rain beating down on the tent. I had a rather poor nights sleep, Kelly decided she wanted to get up early and watch the sun rise over the lake, it sounded like a nice idea so I decided to join her. Unfortunately neither … Continue reading Day Four – Italy

Day Three – France, Switzerland and Italy

Another nice nights camping was had in Belfort, France. The weather stayed dry and was plenty warm enough the whole night, the camp site was nice and quiet being mostly camper vans this time of the year. We had a long day ahead, Belfort was quite close to the French border so it wouldn’t take long to get in … Continue reading Day Three – France, Switzerland and Italy

New Beam and a Quick Hose Down

It has been a while since I have had time to spend on the car, I have not been able to get hold of a welder and didn’t really want to start working on the engine in the garage as I wanted to flush out the cooling system first. Last week an advert popped up on the Fiat … Continue reading New Beam and a Quick Hose Down

Day Two – France

lazybones51 — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:39:45 +0000

We awoke in Melun, France our first camp site of the trip. The weather was cool and the ground rather damp from the heavy rain the previous day, although the sun was trying to break through the early morning cloud so there was still hope that it could be a nice sunny day. Kelly grabbed … Continue reading Day Two – France

Day One – England and France

lazybones51 — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:03:02 +0000

The day started early, at 03:30 to be precise and unfortunately I had only slept for four and a half hours due to staying up until 11pm looking for my recently purchased road atlas of western Europe, which to this day I still haven’t found. We loaded up the bike the night before so that we only had to stick on … Continue reading Day One – England and France
