Carcassonne is beautifull!

And close to the geriatric paradise of Jess and Theresa.

Hello everybody. Please make sure that you visit if you are near to Carcassonne. Jess will be at VIM if there are enough cabins.

I have to say it is not the most sparkling place.
Pretty.. depends on where you are.
The speed limits are a nightmare so I would advice everyone to take the shortest route to Spain or France

But....

Booze is very, very cheap!
The food is great and very, very cheap!
The roads in Spain and France are absolutely fabulous!

Wish I could attend...

Andorra is just over the mountains for me and I have never been there. So I am looking forward to it, if Josep can find a place big enough for us all. VIM is about riding our bikes , meeting new and old friends, exploring new lands - and a lot more too. Don't worry Jack, you will be in good company and, if Andorra is not very pretty, you have Spain and France to explore too. VCIF_varaGrey

This is interesting, but I think is not an option for me to bring my motorcycle to Europe (from Costa Rica).
Someone knows where I can rent an Africa Twin to join the trip?
Ideas?

Thanks

http://www.loca-bike.fr/index.php?page=motos

And a lot of other possibilities if you search with "louer Africa twin"

I do not know any of them; nice if we can meet there  VCIF_ThumbUp  VCIF_salut
Alone we go faster, together we go further

I do not ride fast, I ride far / I'm not lost, I'm just exploring

Thinking about this route. Nightly stops at Malmö (brother), ferry, Amsterdam (hotel), Dunkirk (camping), Champagne (unknown) and Bordeaux (unknown).

Different way home. Have not decided.
